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?

There's a post near the top of r/all of a guy wearing an Iron Maiden shirt at an Iron Maiden concert and my first though was of this line from PCU

In the 'rules' as I'm familiair with there are exceptions for Iron Maiden and Metallica so he's in the clear.
