When we have nothing else to do - that is - we're done worrying about what to have for dinner (lunch, breakfast), what we'll wear, whose turn it is to cook, clean up, treat, - we like to make lists.  So here's a list of movies that focus in some way, or involve sibling relationships.  We're not even including films made by siblings - such as the Coen brothers, or the brother-sister team of David and Laurie Gwen Shapiro (Keep the River on Your Right). We haven't seen all of these films and do not mean to endorse any of them…though we'll share with you those that we find particularly interesting in the future.  If you have films to add to our list, please send them along to Marjory@sibling-revelry.net.  Feel free to include your own review or recommendations.
