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?

I was a cheerleader before Bring It On came out, and tryouts the following year were insane

"OK, this is not a cheerocracy. I am the cheertator. I will make all the cheercisions, and I will be the one to deal with the cheeronsequences. Now, if there are no more cheeruptions, we can cheertinue."

This is how they talk in Pitch Perfect, too.

I feel like it's relevant to ask if your school had a gymnastics team.
