What was the name of movie where daughter had to take care her sick mother it made around early not one with Renee Zellweger and Myrle Streep?

I think you are referring to the movie "Terms of Endearment" (1983). The movie follows the relationship between a mother (Shirley MacLaine) and her daughter (Debra Winger) over several decades, as the daughter becomes increasingly responsible for caring for her aging and ill mother. It is a heartwarming and often tearjerking film about family, love, and sacrifice.
