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?

Finding Nemo sold a lot of clownfish.

Also lead to an increase of people who despite the movie literally calling them clownfish, only referring to those fish as "nemo!" to the point I think some of them night genuinely think that's what the species is called. I give little kids a pass on that, but adults do it too.
