The Mum: Etheline Tenenbaum. Anjelica Huston plays the matriarch of Wes Anderson's eccentric family.
The Awesome: Etheline is pretty no-nonsense when it comes to dealing with her husband's foibles. She finds herself a more reliable other half in the form of Danny Glover's accountant.
Her parental skills are debatable though, as her three children are all genii of some description, but they're also all pretty mentally unstable. To be fair, the ineffectual Royal was probably a child-raising hinderance, and should have probably been sat on the naughty step when it came to matters of parenting.
It's also impossible to think of Anjelica Huston without remembering her inspired casting as the Addams family's lady-parent, Morticia.

I know she isn't from a film, but I feel Atia from Rome should be in here. And Servilia. They had a truly epic battle over the course of the two series.

Ah, wait. *re-reads title* OK, probably not so much an awesome mother as slightly disturbing by the end.

Anyway, considering I was expecting you to namecheck Savage Grace AGAIN, good list.

Yeah I think the mum from Braindead would go into the same catergory as Carrie, Serial Mom and Hush.
