So, in this week’s MPAA bulletin (https://filmratings.com/Content/Down...g_bulletin.pdf) we can see that they have rated their movie #52,000 and that honor falls on an R-rated film called “The Poison Rose”

Previous milestones include Stanley Kubrick’s Lolita, which received certificate #20,000 in 1962 or Peter Hyams’ “Capricorn One”, which was #25,000 in 1977.

Movie Number One in this list that spans practically the whole history of American cinema and most of world cinema, was a film by John Ford, (“The World Moves On”) in the year 1934.

These certificate numbers appear in the opening credits of almost every USA released movie films from the year 1934 until the year 1968, meaning that the movie in question adhered to the Hayes Office "Motion Picture Code".

In the year 1968 the current MPAA movie rating scheme started (you know: G, PG, PG-13, R) and the certificate numbering was continued straight until nowadays, although around this time its screen display was moved to the closing credits instead of the opening ones, where it has remained ever since.

There is not a complete list of all the certificate numbers available on the internet, although amateur attempts by OCD fans have been made.

The only official source is in the MPAA official website, but the movie rating search only includes movies from 1968 until today, and not before:
