Movies where you agreed with the villan?
Have there been movies where you agreed with the villan or the cause he was supporting? I was watching the Bourne Ultimatum and realized I totally agreed with the idea that Bourne was trying to expose.
Do you have any examples?
Probably need to keep this thread with spoiler tags.

I'll agree that he's an anti-hero has most of his ideas make sense to a point. Eventually though, he gets shown as a real bad guy.

Agreed.. I think his idea of wanting to clean up the city was noble, but his methodology stunk

The Untouchables
I find it tough to actually pull for Elliot Ness and his "Untouchables" because they were trying to enforce the ridiculous alcohol Prohibition laws of those times. Although Al Capone was a violent thug, but it was him and other guys like him that made Prohibition a complete failure that eventually lead to its repeal. If Elliot Ness and guys like him had succeeded instead, alcoholic beverages would still be illegal to this day.

Frank Horrigan: You don't know what I used to think!
Mitch Leary: Oh, but you know about me? Do you have any idea what I've done for God and country? Some pretty FUCKING HORRIBLE things! I don't even remember who I was before they sunk their claws into me!
Frank Horrigan: They made you into a real monster, right?
Mitch Leary: That's right and now they want to destroy me because we can't have monsters roaming the quiet countryside, now can we?

Titanic - I actually yelled at Billy Zane's character to shoot Rose and Jack, and then started cheering when immediately afterward he started shooting at them.

Perfume: Even though he killed a bunch of innocent hot chicks that didnt deserve to die I think the intentions were good.
