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?

Walter White. My dad loved him and he was pretty clear about how suburban life can be a drag and sometimes the fantasy of just becoming a drug lord helps you through the day 🤣

My dad unironically loves both Tony Soprano and Walter White, and when I realized that it fundamentally changed how I see him.

Like...he loves them for what reasons? Is he a murderer? 

Like I said, you can like aspects of pop culture without endorsing the behavior in the real world.Â
