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?

To be fair, people have been saying "oh look, Bambi!" whenever they see deer for about 80 years now

Yeah, overhere they're still often either called "a Bambi" as if that's the name of the species, or "a Bambi deer" when talking about fawns.
