I love this idea.  Wouldn't it be grand if every film that depicted babies
had some treatment of Bf?  In the meantime we can give each other ideas
about what to look for at the video store.  I'll save them all, this is a
big interest of mine.

"Angie" - A  new, single mother is determined to find and confront her own
mother, leaving her newborn (who is not breastfeeding properly) in the care
of her father and step-mother (she catches the sm comforting the crying baby
in a breastfeeding position).  She travels with a breast pump which we see
her handling in a public restroom.  When she returns she finds her baby in
the hospital, where she rushes to a happy ending, breastfeeding for the
first time.

"Look Who's Talking" -  A new, single mother is courted by a taxi driver.
While mother is out of the room (worrying about the shape amd size of her
breasts in a bathroom mirror), the taxi driver uses the contents of the
baby's bottle to lighten his coffee.  When he learns what is in the bottle
(EBM) he sprays a mouthful of coffee across the room.

"The Last Emperor" - When the young emperor's wet nurse is taken from him
(he's about 8 years old) he says "She was not my wet nurse.  She was my
butterfly."  Depicts him nursing as an older child.

"The Hand that Rocks the Cradle" - a devious nanny uses breastfeeding to
come between her charge and his mother (she blames the mother for her
husband's suicide and her miscarriage).  She maintains her milk suppply by
using an electric pump.  Not pleasant.

Just a few to get us started.  Please post for the group or email more to me
privately.  TIA
