Any number of Bette Davis movies. For example:

Whatever Happened to Baby Jane (the ultimate movie for two good female
roles, surely!)
All About Eve
The Great Lie

etc. etc. Bette Davis was noted for "good" roles, and was often the
stronger, where two female leads featured. The Great Lie is one exception:
Mary Astor's role was the stronger one here - an Oscar winning performance.
