From the perspective of a mother..... Why don't you suggest that you watch the movies together and talk about them? Maybe you could find out what it is that she objects to, and you could explain why you like them so much.
It sounds like your mother's given you the benefit of the doubt for a long time:
: My mother, who has been pretty fucking cool with things I watch and buy
Perhaps you could do the same for her?
It's really, really hard to accept how fast your own kids grow up, and the maternal instinct is ALWAYS to protect them. There's some pretty harsh stuff in Kevin's movies. I think she'd be comforted to know that you find them funny, thought-provoking, ironic, etc. -- basically that you've become an adult and there's less need for her to protect you, since she's done such a great job raising you.
