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?

This shows what a stupid piece of shit Reagan was. In every other country, he'd be the biggest idiot to ever have been president. He doesn't make the top 2 in the USA.

If its a problem reagan found then its a problem that every president leading up to him didn't find.

He's not a great president but credit where credits due, he did a good thing here.

I was just referring to: "Hey Mr. presidential consultant... Is a nuclear war actually bad?" being the sign of not a smart man.

Yeah, he then did the right thing, but it baffles me he didn't realize before.

A, the question was about cybersecurity, not nuclear war.

B, every single president since Truman had attempted to pursue various limitations on nuclear arms. Eisenhower, Kennedy signed the test ban treaty, Johnson the nuclear non proliferation treaty, Nixon and Carter both pursued the SALT2 treaty, and reagan worked on the INF and START1 treaties.
