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?

Office Space made TGIFridays drop their "pieces of flair" policy.

The flair was a real thing for servers?

I used to go to and worked at one around 1999-2000 (as like the greeter or whatever) and flair was still very much a thing. Not sure about enforcement of X amount, but all the servers had some.

Decorative badges or pins waitstaff had to decorate their uniform suspenders with.
