Top 10 Movie Rivalries


what do you say we go out on a date have
some chicken maybe some sex you know see
what happened oh there’s nothing like an
ongoing feud to keep the blood boiling
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
movie rivalries whether it’s caused by
opposing views intense dislike or just
general hatred some of these conflicts
are the motivating force for some of
these characters
I got a wacky idea it’s the reason they
get out of bed every morning and what
they dream about at night and while a
few may take it to dangerous levels it’s
not always about literally murdering the
competition however you won’t see any
superheroes on this list because we’ve
already got you covered there with the
top ten comic book rivalries and you
won’t see any cartoons because we’ve
already got you covered with the top ten
cartoon rivalries as well I’m sorry to
hear that
that come on over here and pick me up
number 10 Harry Potter vs. Draco Malfoy
the Harry Potter franchise didn’t mommy
ever tell you it was rude to eavesdrop
Potter
oh yeah she was dead before you could
want the drool off your chin these
wizards may have grown up together but
they weren’t the best of friends
far from it actually when you consider
that Draco pretty much hated Harry at
first glance it makes sense that Harry
wouldn’t like him in return plus mr.
Potter’s a pretty good judge of
character
well sing one not that some Wizarding
families are better than others Potter
you don’t want to go making phones for
the wrong sort I can help you there I
think I can tell the wrong sort for
myself thanks but they’re schoolyard
hate fest eventually progresses to a
much more serious and dangerous enmity
as the unindicted princes of good and
evil
their rivalry is representative of a
much larger battle well done drink well
done and we all know how that turned out
number nine James Hunt versus niki lauda
rush hey asshole it was my life I at
that corner you mean the one that you
spun out of and finished facing the
other way I think that corner had you
what’s life as a professional racer if
you don’t have a rival the blonde versus
the brunette the Englishman versus the
Austrian passion versus precision
because to be a champion it takes more
than just being quick it’s the whole
picture no you’re just the charger at
the party guy that’s where everybody
likes you I try saying Matt and tell me
you’re not jealous life couldn’t
possibly have been faster for either of
these gentlemen as they struggle to
one-up each other over the course of
their professional rivalry on the
racetrack
through devastating accidents and
marital woes their relationship kept
their eyes on the road and their desire
to win at the forefront you know they’re
both champions of the world there’s no
better no it’s not bad so don’t let me
down oh I need you busting my balls get
back to work number eight Cady heron
versus Regina George Mean Girls evil
takes a human form and Regina George
because she may seem like your typical
selfish backstabbing like faced old bag
but in reality she is so much more than
that what started out as a clique
infiltration ended up turning into a
social coup d’etat
I saw Cady heron wearing army pants and
flip-flops so I bought army pants and
flip-flops it’s the daughter of
anthropologists versus the school’s
reigning queen bee and leader of the
plastics
we’re going shopping and it would seem
they both underestimated each other
these two leveraged their popularity and
they’re growing personal awfulness in an
attempt to take each other down but it
reaches a fever pitch and their rivalry
is soon taken to new heights
number 7 happy gilmore vs. shooter
McGavin happy gilmore a guy who can
drive the ball that far no one else to
draw a crowd a golfer with an arm
growing out of his ass friendly
competition isn’t really the word to
describe the relationship between these
two she’s not about to let his reign at
the top he’s spoiled by some freak
sideshow clown did you just call me a
freak I was on this tour for one reason
money but now I got a new reason kicking
your ass especially not when one of them
is willing to buy the others
grandmother’s house as leverage to force
his hand in a golf competition if I beat
you I get the house back do you beat me
I’ll quit you’re gonna beat me go with
the pro golfer versus the unconventional
amateur the competition is fierce if not
a little aggressive and considering this
is an Adam Sandler flick it’s also a
little ridiculous pieces of shit like
you for breakfast
you read pieces of shit for breakfast No
number 6 Nina sayers vs. Lily
black swuan I watched the way she moves
imprecise
effortless she’s not faking it
the world of ballet isn’t all pirouettes
and tutus the pressure to land or even
to keep a roll can bring out both the
best and worst in people
these battling ballerinas are no
exception these two dancers are like the
halves of one hole the innocent and
virtuous versus the reckless and
seductive what starts out as a simple
professional battle for superiority
eventually devolves into a violent
confrontation with no true victor
number five Marty McFly versus Biff
Tannen back to the future being
transported back in time to witness your
father being harassed by a boneheaded
bully can be tough having that bully
become a constant source of antagonism
to you as you attempt to introduce your
parents so you can be born is pretty
much a doozy all right Punk having your
father’s bully become your arch nemesis
is truly a unique circumstance and then
having his family members harass you
across 130 years of history maybe worst
of all jerk
number four Roy Munson versus Ernie
McCracken kingpin your bladder feels
like an overstuffed vacuum cleaner bag
and your butt is kind of like butt about
to explode bratwurst
hey do you mind I wasn’t talking when
you were bowling was I talking out loud
most sports rivalries don’t end up with
someone losing a hand but that’s how
this one originated watch the door once
a bowling phenomenon but now one-handed
thanks to big earns dastardly Kahn Roy
sets out to get revenge on the man who
left him and his hand to the dogs along
the way he mentors an Amish bowling
protege in the hopes that he’ll rise
through the ranks and eventually
embarrass his arch rival in a
high-stakes bowling tournament yes well
welcome to my church
revenge is a dish best served cold and
by an Amish guy is what is called a born
loser a real Muslim number three Robert
Angiers Alfred Borden the pristine
– very
Marlon’s cutter being a magician
requires knowing the secrets to tricks
the defy belief but sometimes those
tricks can turn deadly though they
started off as friends the rivalry
between these two magicians borders on
obsessive call it a professional rivalry
with each one constantly on a hunt to
expose or embarrass the other it’s a
no-talent magician and they told him the
bloody fest in England why they
eventually reach a point of desperation
where they’ll try anything to conclude
their back-and-forth but nothing can put
an end to the tricks and twist in this
relationship
we’re not afraid to get events daily
anymore I am
and I win number two maverick versus
Iceman Top Gun
that’s him Iceman so it flies ice cold
no mistakes when you’re a brash bad boy
naval aviator who can’t be tamed no
straight-laced overachiever is gonna
stand in your way
it’s a competition to be the best even
if being the best ends in a fatal
training accident because you can’t
chill out so you need any help what
you figured it out yet what’s that who’s
the best pilot no I think I can figure
that one out of my own and really these
two probably could have skipped the
whole aggressive conflict thing and gone
straight to the friendship it’s not your
flying it’s your attitude at least that
way fewer people would have gotten hurt
and maybe there would have been more
volleyball
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions my name ain’t
chump it’s Billy Hoyle Billy Hoyle Billy
Hoyle Billy Hoyle okay Billy now can you
count to ten Billy oh sorry I can’t come
to the Darin with the gods as our
witnesses that has pledged that the
winner will allow the loser all the
proper funeral rituals there are no
pacts between lions and Men last I heard
my Jim makes money there’s dust my
dreams worth over four million dollars
your Jim isn’t worth four I have
shareholders you haven’t even got cup
holders he’s a cold person you don’t
know him that lack of warmth that
coldness was there it permeated the club
when I arrived I totally will feel that
you asked any of my players I was like a
father to him I will have you know that
I have more talent and more intelligence
in my little finger than you do in your
entire body sir you are a smelly pirate
hooker you look like a blueberry why
don’t you go back to your home on whore
island well you have bad hair
number one Rocky Balboa versus Apollo
Creed rocky hey kid
hiring no think about it it’s not every
day that a debt collector gets a shot at
the heavyweight title man man
Rakesh you tell you yeah now what does
that mean that means if he can’t fight I
bet even cooked and considering that the
reigning champ doesn’t even consider the
underdog a threat it makes the rivalry
that much more intense at least on one
side but with a little luck and a lot of
training
maybe the underdog can go the distance
it’s not until rocky and Apollo are in
the ring that the gloves come off so to
speak and they’re allowed to battle it
out
