With Sunday being Mother's Day, it's the perfect time to check out some famous and infamous celluloid moms on video.

Macabre though she may be, Morticia (Anjelica Huston) is the perfect loving ma to her three offspring in the wickedly funny 1993 comedy "Addams Family Values" (Paramount, $20).

The 1939 comedy "Bachelor Mother" (Media Home Entertainment, $20) is a breezy, witty farce starring the vivacious Ginger Rogers as a salesgirl who becomes an instant mom when she finds an abandoned baby. David Niven is also in great form as her boss.

Get out your wire hangers for "Mommie Dearest" (Paramount), the 1981 hoot based on Christina Crawford's memoirs of her less-than-pleasant childhood as the adopted daughter of Joan Crawford (Faye Dunaway).

And speaking of Crawford, she won an Oscar for 1945's "Mildred Pierce" (MGM, $20), a juicy adaptation of James M. Cain's novel about a hard-working divorcee who discovers that both she and her ungrateful, spoiled daughter (Ann Blyth) love the same man (Zachary Scott).

Shelley Long is in fine form as the quintessential perky TV sitcom mom in "The Brady Bunch Movie" (Paramount, $20), the uneven but frequently hilarious 1995 feature version of the cult TV series.

Have a box of tissues handy while watching 1948's "I Remember Mama" (Turner, $20), the poignant adaptation of John Van Druten's Broadway play chronicling the life of a Norwegian immigrant family living in San Francisco in the early 1900s. Irene Dunne received an Oscar nomination for her glowing performance as the inspiring, solid-as-a-rock mom.

Barbara Stanwyck received her first best actress Oscar nomination for her pull-out-all-the-stops performance in "Stella Dallas" (Sultan Entertainment, $15), the popular 1937 sudser about an uneducated woman who gives up everything for her daughter (Anne Shirley). The wedding scene conclusion is a real heart-tugger.

The slight 1968 family comedy "Yours, Mine & Ours" (MGM, $15) benefits greatly for the sparkling performances of Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda. Ball plays a widow with eight kids who marries a widower (Fonda) with 10.

Doris Day is at her bouncy best as a harried mom married to a New York drama critic (David Niven) who moves her brood to the country in the pleasant 1960 comedy "Please Don't Eat the Daisies" (MGM, $15). Based on Jean Kerr's best-selling book.
