10 Movie Mother & Daughter Duos That Make Us Jealous

Some movie mother-daughter duos make us realize how good we have it, while others are pure #MotherDaughterGoals. Here are 10 mother and daughter duos who are the Lorelai and Rory (that's a "Gilmore Girls" reference) of movies.

Donna and Sophie From 'Mamma Mia'

Donna is a bit of a helicopter mom, but that's only because she wants the best for Sophie. Listen, they live on a Greek Island and get to sing ABBA songs all the time. What could be better?

Tess and Anna From 'Freaky Friday'

It might take switching places for these two to become #goals, but they really did. 

Linda and Emily From 'Snatched'

If you skip over the whole kidnapping part of this movie, it turns out to be the best mother-daughter vacation that could ever happen. There's laughing, drinks, sunbathing, more drinks! We're buying plane tickets now.

Doris and Suzanne From 'Postcards From the Edge'

These two ladies had their ups and downs, but they always had each other to laugh with (and at) through it all.

Rachel and Charlotte From 'Mermaids'

Charlotte may not realize how awesome her mother is at the beginning, but after all the dance parties in the kitchen, she eventually starts to take notice.

M'Lynn and Shelby From 'Steel Magnolias'

M'Lynn sacrificed her kidney for daughter Shelby. That's a bond not even death can eff with.

Adele and Ann From 'Anywhere But Here'

The roles are a bit reversed here, with Ann being more of the mom at times, but their relationship is still amazing. Sometimes, having a mom who refuses to grow up means ice cream for dinner and going to parties. 

Aurora and Emma From 'Terms of Endearment'

"Terms of Endearment" makes you realize that the the harder your mom is on you, the more she loves you. That is, if you're physically capable of coming to a realization after sobbing your brains out.

Daphne and Milly From 'Because I Said So'

Sure, it may just be the cheesiest rom-com ever, but we still love how close Daphne and Milly are. They share everything, and can't stay mad at each other for too long. Who could stay mad at Mandy Moore or Diane Keaton? They're delightful.

Angela and Wendy From 'Heartbreakers'

These two are living the dream. If we could run cons with our mom without getting caught, we would do it in a heartbeat. Especially if we had as much fun as these two.
