The greatest film depicting the bond between mother and daughter to ever grace the screen, James L. Brooks adaptation of Larry McMurty’s novel covers three decades in the lives of widow Aurora Greenaway (Shirley MacLaine) and her daughter Emma (Debra Winger), meditating on the cycles of time and nature of family. From grand slapstick to deepest sentiment, director Brooks masterfully paints scenes from their evolving 30-year relationship. Dazzling critics and audiences alike, Terms of Endearment would win five Academy Awards: Best Picture, Actress, Supporting Actor (for Jack Nicholson), Director and Adapted Screenplay. (1983, 132 mins)
