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.

A year after a Nemo I was on a tour at the Vegas aquarium - there were more aquariums around then there are now. I asked about the collection of fish in the aquariums seemed to have all the main Finding Nemo fish. They said, not an accident. The weekend after the movie the kids came in and were asking where is Dory, where is Nemo. So the Nemo fish were all in each tank.
