When you hear, read, or see any story about sisters, it's almost inevitably something that will give you major feels. Although, movies touch a totally different nerve for some reason.

Any of these amazing flicks involving a bond between sisters are worth watching with your favorite person, or your actual flesh and blood.

OK, this is definitely a much more lighthearted depiction of sisterhood, but you still get some depth. Amy Poehler and Tine Fey take on the roles of sisters who are almost exactly the opposite.
