What are your favorite movies where two intelligent characters try to outsmart each other?

I like movies where two smart characters try to outwit each other. It can happen in any situation. When it happens in conversation, each side trying to show how bright or knowledgeable they are. It can make for a good comedy, especially when both characters have big egos.

But it can be serious too, as a cop and criminal trying to lure each other into traps.

This is a familiar story anyways and you see it in a lot of places, including in cartoons and comics, such as batman and joker or Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner.

For me the best type is when the hero and the villain are both super smart and crafty, so you watch one great plan after another devised by each, wondering who will eventually succeed, and meanwhile enjoying watching each come up with schemes and masterfully execute them.
