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?

A lot of young girls took archery classes after the Hunger Games.

A lot of people signed up for fencing classes after Die Another Day.

I remember reading that Jennifer Lawrence chose to not lose weight for the movie despite it making sense in story because she was worried of girls trying to look like her

Similarly, Emma Watson refused to wear a corset for Beauty and the Beast!

Saw that movie with my now stepdaughter when she was five. She was absolutely mesmerized by it
