So with the sibling theme running through this movie here at FemaleFirst wee took a look at some of the best movie siblings of all time.

Jake and Elwood Blues

Released in 1980 The Blues Brothers starred John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd as Jake and Elwood who make it their personal mission to save the orphanage that they grew up in.

Jake Blues is released from Joliet Prison into his brother Elwood's custody, having been paroled after serving three years of a five-year sentence for armed robbery.

Upon his release the brothers visit the orphanage they grew up in--only to discover that it is in danger of being shut down by the county for failure to pay taxes. With a little help from James Brown as a revival preacher, the Blues Brothers are divinely inspired to raise the $5,000 that the orphanage needs to stay open.
