First in a theater was "An Officer and a Gentleman". I was 13 at the time. My best friend's sister was dating an usher at a theater, I think his parents were out of town, she was watching him and asked if I wanted to tag along. I had no clue what the movie was about but figured "what the heck"....I got in free along with free popcorn and drinks, I love movies in general, and my friend didn't want to be left watching the movie alone.

I think it was Saturday Night Fever December 1977? I was 6 years old

"The Jerk" and was disapointed that the only one to get kind of naked was Steve Martin.

JAWS got a PG rating but had to have an additional advisory of "May be too intense for younger children". So, in effect JAWS was a PG-13 before there ever was a PG-13.

I think the first one I ever saw in a theater was Nightmare on Elm Street 3 when I was 15. Went with a couple of chicks, hoping that good things might happen when they got scared. Sadly, I didn't even get one of them to bury her head in my shoulder.

I'd seen a ton of R-rated movies on VHS before that (Blues Brothers when I was 11 or so, Conan, Excaliber, Trading Places, and a bunch of others around the same time). Most of my friends were all really young-looking when we were early teens, so it seemed like we were always getting busted sneaking into R-rated moves and there's no way my parents would have taken me to see one.

The first R-rated movie in a theater was "Trading Places," places, but my parents got HBO in 1979 or 80, where I think Animal House was my first R-rated film but it might have been Halloween. It was one or the other to my recollection.

But my favorite R movie as a kid was Hollywood Knights. I can't find my puffer

Heck, thats a hard one. I remember a big stink being made about Indy 2: TOD before the rating of PG-13 started, so that was around '84. It may have been Children of the Corn then. What year was that released?

OK, then. I'm sticking with my original answer - Omen III

[Hector]

Probably The Exorcist.

Saw it with my dad in Mexico...I couldn't sleep for days...lol.

[TheBigToyAuction.com]

Probably Conan or Excalibur .

Same here - Definitely Conan.

It was the second movie I ever saw in a theater. Even now, I probably watch it at least once a month or so on average.

If Jaws don't count maybe The Longest Yard (not sure if that was R)

[Iron Mego]

I saw King Kong (1976), when it came out for a friend's birthday. It was rated R back then, but is now rated PG (like Jaws I guess). I didn't even realize at the time it was rated R because we were all 7 years old!

First I knowingly saw was Caddyshack. It was between that and the Blues Brothers, which I would have preferred, but mom took us to Caddyshack. At that age it was a little embarrassing to see boobies while sitting with my sister and mom!

[Monsterama2000]

I think it might have been Andy Warhol's Frankenstein in 1974. It was quite an eye opener for an 8 year old.
