in 1980 a movie named "Fame" was released. It was rated R.  The movie pertained to a performing arts high school. 

 

Anyway fast forward to 2000 and I see it is being shown on cable. So I watched it with my kids and 2 of their friends

 

Mom of friends was NOT happy I showed her kids an R rated movie.   OOPS. 

 

There were some harder R's  than others. I didn't think that movie was that bad at all .

great movie.  much better than Cinemax at night or taxi cab confessions..who cares  about the mom....

Very Catholic folks- does Carl Sagan count as R-rated?   My Pop loved Cosmos- even though it discussed... gasp... Evolution-

but nowadays I gotta wonder if conceptualization is considered blasphemy... to something.  
 

The Blues Brothers, IIRC

I think it was original Halloween

 

It ruined me 

Halloween 1978 I was 10 years old at one of Buffalo’s many drive ins back in the day in my pajamas in our car sitting next to my dad stuffing my face with snacks back when people weren’t crazy with you shouldn’t eat this or that like some people are today. When I was a kid you could get a candy bar for .15 cents and a large pizza was $5 sports tickets and concerts were dirt cheap compared to today everything is a rip off young people don’t know any better they think it’s a bargain well it isn’t in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo

I don't remember the first, as I watched a lot of movies even as a kid, but Beverly Hills Cop, True Lies and Friday the 13th (whichever one) were all early watches.
