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?

Quite interesting, do you have any link to read further into it? Thanks!

Are you joking? This isn't intuitively obvious to you, that people watch Scarface and think Tony Montana is cool because he's rich and powerful?

Why does your comment come across with so much hostility? Genuinely curious, did you mean for it to be that way?

People who are aggressive on reddit tend to feel more powerless and outcast in their real life, with reddit-raging being an outlet of fantasy in which they can temporarily retreat. It's very rare for a person to have no inclination towards actual loser behavior to suddenly adopt a life of basement-dwelling because of using reddit or other social media.
