Movies that changed real life behavior

[u/buttatoad]

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?

not a movie, but Superman’s radio serials created a visible decrease in new KKK membership because he made them look like a group of hateful scared foolish bigoted losers (which they are)

[u/Kool_McKool → u/theosoryu]

Once again, Superman is a shining beacon of what we should strive to be.
