Jill Scott’s character, Sheila may not have seen all the signs that her hubby, Mike was a lying cheater, but once he came right out and told her (after being outed), with a smug attitude, he told laid out what moves he was making with his new woman. Her reaction was priceless.

5. Doughboy vs. Ricky, “Boyz n the Hood”

6. Duck vs. J.T., “The Five Heartbeats”

This is so not the scene I spent 5 days searching for, but it’ll do. Remember when brothers, Duck and J.T. fought over the same woman they both claimed to love? Then they made it a part of their show, as they ripped the clothes off of one another and created a showstopping performance.

7. Kathryn vs. Sebastian, “Cruel Intentions”

One of the best teen movies ever made has a sizzling brother-sister rivalry as Sarah Michelle Gellar and Ryan Phillippe make a bet with each other that has drastic consequences. Gross, but so good.

Sanaa Lathan’s character, Andrea was being extra when she told her husband, right to his face that she has another man–the White man she’s been sleeping with.

It’s not just mortals that are plagued by sibling rivalries – the relationship between Norse gods Thor and Loki in the Marvel Comics movies is difficult on the best of days.
