They should be basically after the same thing, but not necessarily working together. Ideally, something with a climax where they clash with each other and the hero. Double crosses and triple crosses are welcome. Comic book villains with different agendas forced together need not apply.
So far I've got...
True Romance Enemy of the State
Any and all recommendations appreciated!

Jason Statham's anti-hero goes up against the Russian mob, Chinese Triad and crooked cops! And yes, the Russians and the Triad are in a gang war with one another.
(BTW, in case you are wondering, there is no shortage of bone snapping, gunplay and overall body count! The bad guys on all sides have no code against offing innocent bystanders!)
Anyway...some of that and your question in general Brett, as well as the mention of 'Good Bad & Ugly' got me thinking of ...Akira Kurasawa's Yojimbo which inspired Sergio Leone's A Fistful Of Dollars and Walter Hill's Last Man Standing. Hill also directed Extreme Predujice which had a surprise villian (Micheal Ironside) against villian (Powers Boothe) against hero (Nick Nolte)
Lucky Number Slevin also cropped up in my mind as well.
I don't know if Freddy vs Jason counts...but there's always Monster Squad
"Comic book need not apply" Awww...come on. No Batman Begins/ Dark Knight, Brett? Can't you make an exception?
"Thursday" with Thomas Jane. Strange flick, don't really like it -- but don't really hate it -- Seen it enough times to constitute me liking it. Meh, watch it, you might like it.

Good call on the Kurosawa and Hill. Those guys know how to mix it up with the villains! I'll have to revisit Prejudice, haven't seen it since it hit theaters.

True, there's always seems a double/triple cross element in most heist flicks. But in this case, the heist is only one facet of a larger operation. So, I can't dwell on that dynamic too much.
