Hmmmm. I have no idea. My guess is Steel Magnolias when the Olympia Dukakis character, Clairee, flushes the toilet in the beauty shop. I love that movie!

something Alfred Hitchcock? I seem to remember that he was obsessed with getting a toilet scene in just to beat the censors. Um, and my old brain is having a hard time coming up with... Psycho?

I'll bite. It's not the movies, rather, TV, but here is the question:

What show included television's first inter-racial kiss - and who were the characters? (No Cheating)

And even though they weren't filmed for tv, I saw the Little Rascals on tv long before anything else.

Wild guess here, but From Russia With Love (Bond, James Bond) when Q gives Bond $2000 to buy a car and he says "make it $2,500 and I'll get a Corvette." If that wasn't the first, if Chevy didn't have to pay for the placement, it was a wasted opportunity.

"Back to the Future." I seem to remember lots of strategic product placement in that movie.
