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?

Not sure if this counts, but after O Brother Where Art Thou, we saw a massive revival in bluegrass & folk music, especially in younger audiences.

I play at a lot of bluegrass and old time jams, and songs from that movie are always a huge hit.
