9) Steel Magnolias (9 of 10)

The 1989 comedy-drama Steel Magnolia has a star-studded female cast. Based on Robert Harling’s play of the same name, it discovers the bonds of friendship shared by a group of friends at Truvy’s Beauty Parlor in modern-day Louisiana. It is full of gossip and laughter and truly touching stories.

Watch it because: Film Critic Roger Ebert describes Steel Magnolias as “a series of comic one-liners leading up to a teary tragedy.” Perhaps this is why, over the years, the film has generated a huge following and is now a mother’s day must-watch.
