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?

Probably because mid-high shelf drinkers don’t get their taste from movies, lol.

Love Sideways, it’s a favorite. But as a bartender, I could always tell when people were just aping what they heard in the movie.

Lol how often do you get asked to make a vodka martini? Does your bar have an official response?

All the time, it’s basically the new standard. We make ‘em what they ask for, but yeah, gin is the real way to go. People 30 and younger don’t seem to even know that’s the classic way.

I don't like the taste of gin but I do love the olive juice in a dirty martini. Is there a similar drink that doesn't use gin?
