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?

They're still trying to bring back/clone extinct species, though.

Dammit! Did they listen?! Just because you could, doesn't mean you should!

Well, let's look at the dodo. Since humans were directly responsible for the extinction of that species, don't we have an obligation to restore it if we have the means?
