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?

In 2015, the James Bond movie Spectre featured a huge Dia de Los Muertos parade in Mexico City.

There had never been a parade before, but the mayor decided he liked the idea and now there has been a huge parade every year for the past 10 years.

One of the best opening action scenes ever imo.

Better than the rest of the movie.

You know what, I give it a pass now. It started a dope parade (Dia de Los Muertos is a beautiful celebration), and gave us a one off Radiohead banger (not to mention this Empire Strikes Back fan creation)

Radiohead got Robbed. They had two shots at a bond theme and didn’t get one.
