Your Favorite Movie-Making Brothers
This does not mean actors like the Baldwins or the Sheens. Only brothers who have made a quality movie together count on this list. (And why are there no sisters? Or a brother-sister combo? Hmm...)

I'd have to go with the Coen brothers, but I gotta lot of love for everybody else on this list as well. Who's your favorite?

Im gonna go with the Coens since the Farrelly's pretty much suck (imo) and the Wachowskis and the Wilsons have like 3 movies tops that they've even made.

Ahem...why not the Sheens?

They'd get my vote for Men at Work alone, plus Young Guns was okay. And they were both in the riotous National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1.

Went with the Coens - they've got a great track record so far, with virtually every movie they make being a winner.

A close second for me would be Paulo & Vittorio Taviani whose films include Good Morning, Babylon ... Padre Padrone ... Fiorile ... Night Of The Shooting Stars.

Up and coming: The Pang Brothers whose film The Eye is currently out there in a limited theatrical release, and available already on an imported HK DVD.

(I assume that Tony & Ridley Scott don't count since they don't work together.)

on all these polls I always get annoyed when people are like ------ by far, no one comes close, mostly because I have a harder time making a decision or I disagree, but this time I think it's pretty clear, out of everyone on the list I think the coens have produced way more quality movies than anyone else on the list
