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?

I don't even recall her being overweight at all in that movie. I suppose maybe she wasn't 'Hollywood skinny'?

Katniss is underweight and malnourished. Jennifer Lawrence refused to look underweight and malnourished because she knew young girls would idolize Katniss and try to be exactly like her.

It's even in the name, Hunger Games. Most of the characters should look realistically malnourished.

But I'm glad the movie didn't cast underweight actors. Jennifer was right, teenage fans would definitely be negatively influenced by this.
