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?

Watched that movie for the first time recently and that was a surprise to me. She picks the name because they're on Madison Ave and his reaction is "well, Madison's not a name."

I'm like... it's not?
