Answers:

Well, out now is "Evening" for a teary take on the aging/dying mother-and the private life of her youth, which her her daughters never knew of.

Others are-
Because I Said So- (just out on DVD)

Terms of Endearment (classic stuff)

Anywhere But Here

The Joy Luck Club (just watch it)

The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio
(I know it's an odd title but I guarantee
it's a surefire TOP MOM movie)

Secrets and Lies (!)

Waitress (a new take on moms-to-be)

Kill Bill 1&2 ( Uma Thurman as the
toughest movie-mom)

For a mom - son variation

Mother (Albert Brooks)

All About My Mother (Spain's maestro Almodovar)

This Boys Life (Leo, DeNiro, Barkin)

The Family Stone (more Diane Keaton)

Terminator 2 (Linda Hamilton on par with Uma Thurman )

Father son-
Kramer Vs. Kramer (guaranteed tears)

The Weather Man (must see)

Godfather 1&2

The Pursuit of Happinesss


Father Daughter-
Having a tough time here but I can think of a few surrogate movie Dads;

Leon The Professional

V for Vendetta

Mighty Aphrodite (Woody Allen)

The Fly (with Jeff Goldblum) (?)

Bad Santa (Billy Bob Thornton) (son)

For a little of everything family -

Hannah and Her Sisters

The Squid and the Whale.

Robert Altman gives us lots of family choices -
Short Cuts, Dr. T and the Women, A Prairie Home Companion.

An alternative mother/father and son -
Transamerica

Lastly, the winner for most dysfunctional family - (Little Miss Sunshine aside)-

(Squid and the Whale might be here, but it's sincere not just quirky)

American Beauty

The Ice Storm

Happiness (watch at your own risk)

Worst Mom award goes to-

Wild at Heart (Dianne Ladd)

Worst Dad-

Twin Peaks- Fire Walk With Me (Leland Palmer)

That's an eclectic mix to keep you watching all kinds of family relations for a while.
