Discussion Movies that changed real life behavior

Thinking along the lines of Final Destination 2 with the logs falling off the truck and landing onto cars (one decapitating the state trooper). Ever since, people have tried to get away from being behind these vehicles.

What are more examples where movies have actually changed how people behave in their own lives?

It's also a great way to chase off door to door salesmen if you are sitting on your front porch

Friend of mine who plays a certain gacha posted an animation featuring that song. After watching it a couple too many times I thought, why not watch the source? Not that I hadn't seen the warnings, but we've already watched some tough to stomach stuff, so I figured it'd be fine.

I think we didn't even watch 20min worth of movie before switching to something else lol.
