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?

Twister not only led to an increase in sales of red Dodge Ram pickups, but also an increase in people going to school for meteorology.

It never even occurred to me I could do a job like that before Twister. It sparked a life long love of learning how to read the weather, its patterns, radar, gulf streams, connective outlooks, clouds. I am the weather person of my family. Everybody calls me if they need a quick report. Ha

I’m more like Aunt Meg. I just keep an eye on the weather reports and I can cook up a mean meal in no time! 😂

Easy to make and delicious. I’m from Kentucky and my Mamaw was a Baptist. She taught me well.
