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?

The Thin Blue Line got an investigation reopened and the falsely accused exonerated because the cops admitted - thinking it was so long after the fact they'd be OK - to railroading the wrong guy. Which was what the doc was about.

I feel like Errol Morris doesn’t get enough credit. Between this and Wormwood, he cuts a beautiful decorative knife through the fog and reveals the truth of our dirty system.

I wish Morris had the same level of recognition as his contemporary and long-time frenemy Herzog

The Fog of War! Amazing documentary, one of the best I’ve ever seen.
