Little brother driving you crazy? Big sister always picking on you? These real-life siblings share an added bond – they’ve worked together on the big screen. So stop pestering your sister and let’s take a look at real siblings in movies.

These siblings from Illinois have a long list of movies between them. As for the credits they share, some of their most memorable on-screen appearances include: 'Sixteen Candles' (1984), 'Broadcast News' (1987), 'Say Anything...' (1989), 'Grosse Pointe Blank' (1997) and 'High Fidelity' (2000).

These siblings aren’t the only famous ones in the family – their mother is producer/screenwriter Naomi Foner and their father is director Stephen Gyllenhaal. Jake and Maggie have starred together in 'A Dangerous Woman' (1993), 'Homegrown' (1998) and 'Donnie Darko' (2001), with the first two flicks directed by their dad.

Over the course of 20 years, Chico, Groucho, Harpo and Zeppo Marx starred in over 35 movies, most with one or more of their siblings. Some of their more famous films are: 'The Cocoanuts' (1921), 'Duck Soup' (1933), 'A Night at the Opera' (1935) and 'A Day at the Races' (1937).

We have a feeling we’re going to see a lot more of them in the years to come.

The Western drama 'Blood Red' (1989) is largely forgettable, except for the presence of actor Eric Roberts starring alongside his Academy Award-winning sister Julia. They may share the same bloodline – and famous lips – but this is the first and only time they’ve shared the big screen.

These two young actresses have amassed quite a lot of credits between them, including three of the 'Twilight' films (2009-2012) and 'Maleficent' (2014). The two also appeared in 'I Am Sam' (2001), with Elle playing the younger version of Dakota's character.

In James Cameron’s sci-fi action hit 'Terminator 2: Judgment Day' (1991), star Linda Hamilton had her twin sister play the role of a T-1000 duplicating her character. Could’ve fooled us.

These young actors have been around since the '90s, when Mac famously made 'Home Alone' (1990). Together, they have starred – in some combination – in 'Home Alone,' 'Home Alone 2' (1992), 'Richie Rich' (1994), 'Igby Goes Down' (2002) and 'Lymelife' (2008).
