[Music]
these siblings just don’t seem to get
along welcome to watchmojo.com and today
we’re counting down our picks for the
top ten sibling rivalries in film
yeah I’m sorry who’s this gentleman
sitting behind you
I’m deal I’m Vernon stepbrother for this
list we’re looking at sibling
step-sibling or adopted sibling
rivalries from film only TV siblings
need not apply what you say does not
matter stay here any longer
number 10 Ann and Mary Boleyn The Other
Boleyn Girl my little sister little
golden sister hell hath no fury like a
woman scorned I failed you as an elder
sister I could wish for a better sister
in this drama and sets her sights on the
king and she’s certain that he’ll be
hers do you think you like me
Roosevelt insisted so when he becomes
enthralled by her sister Mary it starts
off a series of events that ensures
neither will get what they desire don’t
know what you see did nothing a sister
except sing your praises and talk about
my husband really well you must show me
how you did that sometime Anne’s
insistence that King Henry sent her
sister to the country doesn’t only ruin
their once promising romance and
happiness but also any chances Mary
might have had for the same can you show
your face in it number 9 Laurie Strode
and Michael Myers the Halloween
franchise put up for adoption after her
parents were killed
Laurie only finds out about her monster
of a brother Michael when she becomes a
team after murdering their sister and
escaping a mental ward he’s now out to
get the youngest sibling Mike quickly
ensured that reconciling with his
estranged cysts wouldn’t ever be a
possibility by killing her friends
before he turned his sights to his
ultimate prey these are siblings whose
relationship is defined by violence
however despite it all there also seems
to occasionally be some small
inexplicable twisted remnants of
affection between the two number 8 baby
Jane and Blanche Hudson whatever
happened to Baby Jane while baby Jane
may have been a star as a child it was
the success her sister Blanche achieved
as an adult that leads to the jealousy
that defines the lives of both former
stars in this psychological thriller I
couldn’t do a thing like that not to my
own
[Music]
holed up in a mansion for years both of
them unable to let go of their bygone
golden years these two sisters love /
hatred for each other fuels a
destructive relationship
[Music]
the film ends with several questions but
one thing is absolutely certain these
two can’t be happy together or apart
from each other
therefore my sister Blanche she’s going
to be a movie number seven
Katherine Murtagh and Sebastian Valmont
Cruel Intentions I’m not in the mood I
want to and I don’t since these two
step-siblings have spent their lives
getting everything they’ve ever wanted
the only thing that’s left for them to
prove is their superiority over each
other they hear Captain Picard founder
for no man is good perfectly willing to
use whatever skills they have at their
fingertips this cool pair sets their
sights on an innocent bystander but
their ultimate goal is to show each
other up you mind if I take my new car
for a ride
the only thing you’re gonna be writing
is me when Sebastian develops a
conscience at the last minute his
stepsister doesn’t hesitate for a second
to take advantage of that new weakness
to win a meaningless bet and to prove
she is the stronger of the two don’t you
get it you’re just a toy Sebastian a
little toy I like to play with number
six Prince Albert and Prince David The
King’s Speech I will do anything in my
power to keep my father on this phone as
the younger bro Albert was not destined
to become king of the United Kingdom and
he was perfectly okay with that fact his
older brother Edward also known as David
was the one who was actually brought up
for the role and took on the position
until he abdicated it for the woman he
loved your darling brother and future
king the only wife he appears interested
in is invariably the wife of another
perhaps in another movie that’d be a
nero ik act but this film is largely
told from the point of view of the
brother who inherited the royal
responsibilities he never wanted and
wasn’t prepared for your place may well
be on the throne I’m not an alternative
to my brother incapable of speaking
without a stammer Prince Albert was
suddenly called upon to complete the
humiliating task of giving speeches
bloody mess Nathan give them a Christmas
speech though he tried to be loyal to
his older brother while he was on the
throne Albert was certainly quite
reluctant to become King George the
sixth because of his siblings choices
younger brother trying to push out of
but positively medieval number five jazz
Margo and Richie Tenenbaum The Royal
Tenenbaums royal Tenenbaum bought the
house on Archer Avenue in the winter of
his 35th year
all three Tenenbaum children are
exceptionally gifted and in any other
family they would probably have been
considered special because of it what
despite their unparalleled skill in one
field or another the biological and
adopted children of royal and ethylene
Tenenbaum spend their entire lives
feeling inadequate due to the
insurmountable standards of their father
what do you think that Ben seemed
believable to me
each possesses the belief that he or she
is the only one who has never gotten his
approval and so they resent the
attention they perceived their
counterparts getting looks like you and
dad are back together again huh he’s
here dad to chess all this even if in
their heart of hearts they love each
other above all others I know what you
and the boys have been through for my
brother I love you stop saying that
number four brennan huff and dale doback
stepbrothers what’s your problem
little brothers even a bigger ass when
the parents of these two men get married
Brennan and Dale are forced to live
together and share a room I just want
you to know I hate you after spending
the last several years being indulged by
their parents neither is prepared to
share the attention that was once
entirely given to them I swear I’m so
pissed off at my mom as soon as she is
of age I’m putting her in a home
so they unsurprisingly become instant
enemies before long they turn to
physical violence to settle their
differences but this leads to neither
manchild prevailing grown men have never
hated each other so quickly as these two
stepbrothers Hey we’re no longer
brothers
we never worried we were stepbrothers
number three Mufasa and scar The Lion
King whoa if it isn’t my big brother
descending from on high to mingle with
the commoners another film on our list
that looks at the resentment that a
royal position can breed in a family
there’s one in every family sire two in
my name The Lion King is an animated
Disney musical adventure that isn’t
afraid to depict fratricide
despite its family film classification
don’t turn your back on me scar oh no
Mufasa
perhaps you back on me scar will stop at
nothing to secure the power that is his
brothers birthright do FAFSA precisely
one fateful day scar creates a situation
that allows him to kill his brother
Mufasa take the crown and blame it all
on his nephew and a herd of wildebeest
number two Thor Odinson and Loki
laufeyson
the Marvel Cinematic Universe of care
how you speak Loki is beyond reason but
he is of Asgard and he’s my brother
he killed 80 people in two days he’s
adopted as the god of thunder and one of
the greatest warriors in any realm Thor
has very little to worry about except
for an adoptive brother who’s crafting
his downfall
at every turn that was just a bit of fun
writing
to ruin my brother’s big day though
being adopted by Odin the ruler of
Asgard may seem like it’s the best thing
to happen to anyone when your name is
Loki and you inherently believe yourself
to be destined for greatness it can be a
curse thought you dead Digimon you all
did our Father you’re perpetually seen
as second-rate compared to the
biological son who set to rule because
of birthright alone and not merit Loki
grew to resent his father and brother
whatever I have done to wrong you
whatever I have done to lead you to do
this I am truly sorry feeling like they
were holding back his greatness
Loki turned against Thor the anger
subsequently became mutual and lifelong
enemies were born not you rather I’ve
known your brother I never was
Loki this is madness is it madness
is it before we unveil our top pick here
are a few honorable mentions Moses
[Music]
Oh fine what’s this what’s his problem
he doesn’t feel well
Yeah right drive that one out you could
fertilize the lawn Jeanie is that you
brothers each other we all love Samuel
Samuel is dead what how convenient that
is for you because you love her I will
forgive you for that once you say that
again we have not run this where’s Aaron
my brother’s keeper where did you go
what did you quarrel about yeah you’re
angry about the money I like it I think
it’s great number one
Fredo and Michael Corleone The Godfather
Part two my brother Fredo you don’t have
to apologize to me
the Corleone crime family was first
introduced to movie audiences via 1972’s
The Godfather while Sonny Fredo and
their adopted brother Tom Hagen grew up
as rivals who all wanted to prove to
their father that they were the most
worthy of running the family Michael was
the only one who sought to create a life
of his own perhaps ironically
it was that attribute that provided him
the perspective that made him the best
fit to lead the crime Empire their
father left behind once
eldest brother Sonny is out of the
picture though they never stopped loving
each other
the resentment his ascension fostered in
Fredo as seen in part to set the two on
a course that had Michael doing whatever
he feels he must to protect the family
business and his position as the dawn of
the Corleone crime family isn’t plainly
to take us to Miami in an hour
to make a big thing about it
I know it was you afraid of you broke my
heart
