Not a movie, but CSI has triggered a significant increase in the number of people studying to become forensic investigators.

I've also heard that it has made jurors expect to see forensic evidence and to be skeptical when there is none.

I've heard this works both ways. an aquaintance who's an actual CSI told me that her work is accepted in the courts more now (it's not seen as "voodoo" anymore), but some jurors expect a full dna profile and every shred of evidence they see on thursday nights.
