The Mum: Sarah Connor. Mother of humanity's saviour and she doesn't even know it. Unfortunately she has to get up to speed pretty sharpish as a killing machine from the future is sent to destroy her and, hence, prevent her spawning.
The Awesome: In The Terminator, Sarah is a small-town waitress just enjoying the 80's. All this changes when she meets Kyle Reese, a resistance fighter from the future, sent through time by her son to protect her. And help make the aforementioned humanity-saving baby.
Sarah really comes into her own as an awesome mother in T2 though. Committed to a mental institution for her apparently insane ideas about the future, she's gotten prepared for Judgment Day and transformed herself into a fully-fledged badass. Kudos to Linda Hamilton for making the transformation totally believable.

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.
