The bond between siblings has been a longtime fascination for film and television shows, leading to some of the most famous brother and sister duos in film and television history. Those who think romance is the pinnacle of an interesting relationship need to look closer at these memorable bonds between sibling characters. Popular shows like Supernatural have a brother duo as their main characters, and one of Disney’s biggest hits, Frozen, is all about the love between sisters rather than a princess and prince finding each other.

Before they became superstars in Hollywood, Tobey Maguire and Reese Witherspoon collaborated as siblings in the charming and inventive fantasy story Pleasantville. The two play David and Jennifer, a polar opposite brother and sister duo. Jennifer is a pretty and popular girl who seeks status by dating the most eligible bachelors in school. Meanwhile, David is more interested in staying in and watching his favorite show, the old black-and-white sitcom Pleasantville. However, the two find themselves magically transported into the show itself, having to fit into the cookie-cutter 1950s-era story.

The two make for authentic bickering siblings with the stress of their bizarre situation only making their relationship more fractured. Along the way, they also both learn new things about themselves while stuck in this clean-cut world, while also influencing those around them to embrace their passions.

34 Milo & Maggie

The Skeleton Twins (2014)

Close

Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig are known for being two of the funniest cast members on SNL. It would seem like a movie in which they play siblings would be a laugh-out-loud fun ride, but The Skeleton Twins is actually a great display of the two actors’ incredible dramatic talents. Milo and Maggie Dean are two adult twins who have fallen out of touch only to be reunited at a time when they are both going through some horrible personal struggles.

You are watching: 35 Best Brother And Sister Duos In Film & TV History

The movie starts with Maggie’s attempt at suicide being interrupted by news that Milo attempted to take his own life. That is a dark place for the story to begin, and the film explores the traumatic past these two deal with and how it has fed into their current struggles. However, there is also some great humor in the movie as well. Wiig and Hader have great chemistry as seen in the scene where they lip-sync together, perfectly displaying the siblings who share the same quirky sense of humor.

The Black Phone is best remembered for introducing the terrifying villain known as The Grabber. While he is certainly an effective horror movie villain, one of the best aspects of the film is the brother-sister relationship between young siblings, Finney and Gwen. From the beginning of the movie, this brother and sister duo have a bond forged in pain as they live with their abusive father and lean on each other for support.

When Finney is taken by The Grabber, the movie focuses on his attempts to outsmart the killer and escape. However, the subplot of the story involves Gwen going on a mission to find Finney and bring him home. It is a movie that highlights how a loving relationship like this can help overcome hardships and provide love when there doesn’t seem to be much out there.

Succession (2018-2023)

Succession was a show about the entire Roy family and their dysfunctional relationships. However, by the end of Succession, it was all about the siblings. Kendall, Shiv, and Roman were introduced in the very first episode as siblings who seemed to love each other while not being about to stand each other. They would be on each other’s side while also scheming behind each other’s backs. Mostly, they were all connected by the hold their father, Logan, had over them.

Connor was their brother but he wasn’t as prominent or as close as these three. The siblings had moments of connection only in the way these Roy children could. This includes the moment Shiv and Roman console Kendall and convince him he shouldn’t feel guilty for causing an accident that killed a young man. By the final season of the show, with Logan dead, the focus on these three elevated the show, and seeing their quavering alliance leads all the way to the finale made for an exhilarating conclusion.

There are several great brother-and-sister relationships on Fox’s Sunday Night animation block. The antagonism between siblings is obvious from Bart and Lisa Simpson to Meg and Chris on Family Guy.

When it comes to these kids, it is Tina and Louise who have the most authentic relationship of the three, but this is also likely because Gene is so much closer to their mom, Linda, than his sisters. However, while Louise is always trying to help Tina discover herself, it is Tina and Gene who share the most realistic relationship when it comes to big sisters and little brothers, where Louise is often more willing to stick to herself.

Max and Billy are the brother and sister duo from Stranger Things, but they never seem on the same page. That all changed when Billy realized he had to be there for Max when her life was on the line, and that is where their sibling relationship shined through. Throughout most of the series, Billy is mean to Max, and Max hates him for how he treats her and almost dismisses her as his little sister.

Billy spent most of the series as a selfish jerk, but then he sacrificed his life to save Max.

However, what really makes this brother-and-sister TV combo so important is what happens when Billy dies. Earlier in the series, Max wished Billy was dead, but she never expected her wish to come true the way it did. Billy spent most of the series as a selfish jerk, but then he sacrificed his life to save Max and Eleven, dying at the Mind Flayer’s hands to save them both and making Max regret ever making that previous wish. If Billy had lived, he may have seen his behavior for as problematic as it was and made efforts to repair his relationship with Max.

The relationship between Pietro and Wanda Maximoff was very important in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, even though the brother and sister duo only really played a role in one movie in the entire franchise. After appearing in a post-credit stinger, the twins finally made their big MCU debut in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Hydra had raised them as weapons after their home was destroyed by technology taken from Stark International, so they thought Iron Man was responsible and became enemies of the Avengers.

However, the twins ended up helping the Avengers when they learned the truth, although it all ended in tragedy when Quicksilver sacrificed his life to save others and Wanda was left alone with her new family of the Avengers. Sadly, many more tragedies caused by first the Civil War and then by Vision’s death finally broke Wanda. Her “brother” made a return in WandaVision, although it was not really Pietro (and was played by Fox’s Quicksilver in Evan Peters), but his death set her on her road to evil in the end.

Avengers: Age of Ultron was directed and written by Joss Whedon and produced by Kevin Feige for Marvel Studios.

The relationship between Richie and Margo was complicated in The Royal Tenenbaums. In the Wes Anderson masterpiece, Royal Tenenbaum (Gene Hackman) has three kids that he raised in a strict environment that left all of them facing serious mental health issues as adults. Of the three, it was Margot and Richie that shared the closest relationship, and that almost turned into something more as Richie had an unrequited desire for his sister that he kept repressed as he grew up.

This all led to a very important moment in the movie where Richie finally realized he could never be happy when he learned about Margot’s secret life. Richie strips himself of all his defenses (as symbolized when he shaves his beard and takes off the sunglasses he always wears), and then slits his wrist. However, Richie didn’t die, and his survival made Margot understand his feelings, and the two shared a kiss in a private moment. It was a controversial, problematic sibling relationship, but a memorable one.

Not only did Prey revitalize the Predator franchise with a fresh new take on the story, but it also delivered a touching and heroic brother and sister team. The movie is set in the 1700s and follows the Comanche woman Naru who desires to be a hunter like her brother Taabe. However, their way of life is threatened by outsiders, including a deadly Predator alien who comes to Earth hunting for sport.

The movie is a thrilling adventure in which the heroes have to outwit and outrun the advanced extraterrestrial on their trail. However, the heart of the movie is Naru showing her brother that she is more capable than she is given credit for. He is a stern yet protective sibling, but it is moving to see him grow prouder of his sister while she proves she is the one who can save the day. The most impressive part is that there is very little dialogue and they still remain close.

For much of the movie, their relationship is not overly warm, and it is not helped by the fact that Leo begins dating Ruby’s best friend. However, a pivotal scene allows the siblings to hash out their issues with each other. Leo is annoyed by feeling babysat by his young sister just because she isn’t deaf, but he is also frustrated that she has genuine talent but is refusing to pursue it. Ruby and Leo’s relationship shows that love between siblings can exist beneath a rocky surface.

Seeing siblings go through a harrowing adventure together can endear them in the hearts of the audience, as is the case with young Lex and Timmy in Jurassic Park.

From a T-rex attacking their jeep in the middle of a tropical storm to being hunted by a trio of raptors in the kitchen, it is amazing that Lex and Timmy not only survive the whole ordeal but are still able to take the time to tease each other like regular siblings whenever they are not running for their lives. When the movie was first released, the biggest complaints were about the two kids, and while they often made the worst choices possible, their brother-sister bond is the one thing that felt real.

The first movie sees him in a small supporting role, mildly annoyed yet impressed with his younger sister’s rebellious antics. However, Enola Holmes 2 sees the brother and sister teaming up on the same case, which leads to a softer side of the notoriously prickly detective as he grows impressed with the detective the young Enola has become. The movie also shows a rough relationship between Enola and Mycroft to show how much better Sherlock is.

8/10 Enola Holmes 2 PG-13AdventureMysteryActionCrime

Acting as a sequel to Enola Holmes (2020), Enola Holmes 2 sees the titular detective and younger sister of Sherlock Holmes pulled into another mystery when a young factory worker asks Enola to help solve her sister’s disappearance. Unlike its predecessor, Enola Holmes 2 is not based on the novel series by Nancy Springer. The story instead takes inspiration from the 1888 matchgirls’ strike in London. Millie Bobbie Brown reprises her role as Enola, with Henry Cavill and Helena Bonham Carter also reprising their roles as Sherlock and Eudoria Holmes.

20 Alexis & David

Schitt’s Creek (2015-2020)

Close

David and Alexis Rose from Schitt’s Creek begin the series as spoiled adult siblings who are not really big parts of each other’s lives. They are self-centered and have their own social lives, but they suffer the same downfall together as the Rose family loses all their money and is forced to move to a small town.

Sharing a small motel room certainly forces David and Alexis to spend more time together, and they gradually begin to care more about one another, from David helping to get Alexis and Ted together to Alexis walking David down the aisle at his wedding. However, the fact that they still squabble and fight like child siblings also makes them more endearing. The idea of siblings who have grown apart, only to find each other again when the chips are down, makes this a great pairing on TV.

Sammy and Terry make for such a great brother-sister duo because they are imperfect, yet they are the only ones who understand each other and their struggles because of the past they share. Neither sibling is perfect, and they both have problems in life, but they soon realize that as different as they think they are from each other, it is their bond that can help them move forward and find happiness. Linney earned an Oscar nomination for her role in the movie.

You Can Count on Me RDrama

18 Pádraic & Siobhán

The Banshees Of Inisherin (2022)

Close
✕ Remove Ads

The Banshees Of Inisherin is set on a small Irish island where the community is quite small, leaving no secrets between anyone who lives there. Pádraic and Siobhán are siblings who share a small house and a small bedroom together yet the confined nature of their relationship does not diminish the love they have for each other.

Some of the most heartbreaking aspects of the movie deal with Siobhán making plans to move away from the island and its toxicity and Pádraic refusing to leave the only home he has ever known. It is a bittersweet ending to The Banshees of Inisherin that one sibling might find happiness while the other sinks deeper into sorrow. While the main focus was on Colm and Pádraic, two lifelong friends who suddenly find their friendship falling apart, Siobhán is a nice counterbalance to that story.

7/10 The Banshees of Inisherin RComedyDrama

Martin McDonagh (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri) returns to film with The Banshees of Inisherin, a comedy/drama that stars Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson as two friends on the outs of their relationship. Set in 1920’s Ireland, Pádraic (Farrell) has a simple life that is upended when one day, his friend Colm (Gleeson) decides that Pádraic adds nothing to his life and that he’d rather spend his remaining years pursuing things to be remembered by. Pádraic cannot accept this, leading to a never-ending escalation on both ends and darkly comedic outcomes. The film examines the concept of non-romantic break-ups and the challenges of coping with losing a close friend for what seems to be no reason.

17 Ferris & Jeanie

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986)

Close

Sometimes the most entertaining brother-sister relationships are the contentious ones. In Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, the audience follows the fun-loving Ferris (Matthew Broderick) as he goes on his wild day of skipping school, but there is also a parallel adventure of his sister Jeanie (Jennifer Grey) hoping to catch him in the act and ruin his fun.

This kind of brother-sister is relatable as it is hard to see a sibling getting away with something that the other sibling cannot. However, in the end, when Ferris is cornered and threatened to be exposed, it is Jeanie who comes to the rescue and preserves his lie. The movie really shows how the best brother and sister stories feature two people who will do everything to torture each other, but when someone else tries to hurt them, they will always be there to stand up for each other.

Of all the brother-sister bonding activities out there, trying to capture a UFO on camera is certainly a unique one. That is the mission of OJ (Daniel Kaluuya) and Emerald (Keke Palmer) in Nope. Following the death of their father, OJ and Emerald become partners in the family horse business, taking for a complimentary if imperfect team as OJ knows the business and Emerald is more of the salesperson.

The alien in Nope provides a new venture for them as they go to great lengths to get footage of the extraterrestrial visitor. The way these two encourage this strange idea is charming as is the excitement they share with the now-famous hand-clap moment. The best parts of this movie show how this brother and sister duo will always fight and disagree with each other, but it is clear that the love is always there when the going gets tough.
