I'll start with a big one for me:

Fight Club.

Fight Club is, on the surface, about rebellion and how awesome it is even if it's evil. But the hidden message is that rebellion and disenchantment with the system can only come from nihilism and never from a desire for something better. More pragmatically, it posits that rebellion can only lead to disaster and death and self-destruction, which is reactionary mental poisoning if such a thing ever existed.
?"Belief is always most desired, most pressingly needed, when there is a lack of will." -Friedrich Nietzsche

Ideals are imperfect. Morals are self-serving.

meh, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
A humans desire to live is exceeded only by their willingness to die for another. Even god cannot equal this magnificent sacrifice. No god has the right to judge them.-first tenant of the Panotheust

You'll have to grant that that interpretation is a very easy one to take away from the movie.
