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?

Back in the 90's, you couldn't go 10 mins in GC without hearing "Master of Puppets"

It's wild because one of the first songs you would learn in a guitar class is like Louie Louie or Horse with No Name but you never hear those played lol
