From Norman Bates' mom to Britney Spears, modern culture is full of bad parenting. Archivist and cinephile Dennis Nyback presents three unusual vintage films and some shining examples of how not to treat your kid. For instance, don't use them as towropes (the slapstick Mr. and Mrs. Gump), turn them into egg-beater-wielding serial killers (The Case of the Kitchen Killer), or ruin their lives with your own alcoholism (The Summer We Moved to Elm Street). With Mothers' Day fast approaching, this cinematic examination of cracked parental units might have you thanking your own for giving you even a vaguely normal childhood.
