Probably whatever was the first R-rated film. However, it is unknown what the very first R-rated film was. “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” (1966) is widely considered the movie that kicked the old Production Code to the ground and stomped on it. The final nail in the coffin. It was the spur that led to the creation of the MPAA and the ratings so might be considered itself to be the first (honorary) R-rated film. I saw it when it was released. I was of college age.
The ratings system became official in November 1968. Several great movies released the next year got the "R" or higher.
1969's Best Picture winner, Midnight Cowboy, got an X-rating even though that was to be reserved for pornography (which never got submitted for rating in the first place). It was re-rated "R" in 1971.
The Wild Bunch and Easy Rider (both also 1969) were also early "R" films. Saw all of these upon their initial release.

Thinking it might have been Matrix Reloaded.

Anyway, I saw "The Split," too.

Speed
I had the chance, the opportunity, after buying a ticket to see Home Alone, to sneak into a screening of Predator 2, in the same hallway of the movie theater as Home Alone. I ended up watching Predator 2 a year later on HBO, like I usually would.

Schindler's List probably. By then, most big stuff was being tamed down away from R ratings. I don't even think that movie's R rating meant more than discretion, probably anyone over the age 12 could've bought a ticket.
