Mother’s Day is approaching, and like so many other days we may forget and leave the gift for the last moment. That is why today we come with a movie and book recommendation for our motherswith various genres that we will surely hit the nail on the head.
Movies for Mother’s Day
‘Mamma Mia!’
We cannot start in a better way than with a great classic. ‘Mamma Mia!’ It’s been with us for a good number of years, but we never get tired of watching each of the two movies. On Amazon we can find a magnificent pack with both at a fairly cheap price. As a whole, they have quality Blu-ray and they come with different extras. All this for 20.99 euros.

‘My 100 of classic cinema’
I think that we are not the only ones who have a mother who loves classic cinema, and that there is little we can do to show her other works that she would surely love. For them, we find ‘My 100 of classic cinema‘, a work by Javier Lahoz and Nacho Rua in which they trace the history of cinema with graphic and literary notes. In this case, we found the book on sale at La casa del libro at a price of 20.85 euros.

We couldn’t avoid mentioning the book by our SensaCine colleague Alejandro Calvo, ‘A movie for each year of your life‘. An excellent review of the most classic cinema, addressing an annual film up to the present, with recommendations for each title, directors and comments that will give us different perspectives to enjoy the seventh art. Despite the fact that the book was published a short time ago, we can find it on sale on Amazon at a price of 17.95 euros.
