You hit some of the first that came to mind. I'd also include Terms of Endearment, I'll Cry Tomorrow, Postcards From the Edge... do Snow White and Cinderella count?

Not really answering the question but if you’re looking for movies with an abusive mom, there are more than a few! (especially horror.) Off the top of my head:
Carrie is the classic, hereditary is a new classic. Braindead (dead alive) is a classic splatter horror.
Non horror: I Tonya, black swan, Mommie Dearest, Precious, Beau is afraid, Wild at Heart and maybe 8 mile?

Yeah, I think the underlying message in a lot of disney is you’re better off with a dead mom than a live one.

We Need to Talk About Kevin comes to mind.

Carrie reminded me of Misery. She’s not his mom, but she’s definitely abusive.
