I can't give any examples, but re-watch some of those 30 year old R rated films and you will be shocked at how mild they seem.
The 1971 horror film I Drink Your Blood was the first horror film to be given an X rating, and the violence and gore portrayed in it is cartoonish by today's standards. If released today I doubt it would receive anything higher than PG-13.

I personally believe that you could do a child a lot more harm having them believe there is something dirty about a human body than you would allowing them to see one in it's natural form.

That's fine.
However, I explain to my kids that any blood (or minor gore) is fake. It's not real. They get it. however, nudity and worse is real. Good luck explaining that one to kids.

If you were watching some sort of art movie showing the human form... then it's okay.
But pretty much most of the nudity in mainstream movies has something to do with sexuality... that is something that kids can do without.
I'm not saying they won't be exposed to it outside the home, but you have control over it with the content you decide they can watch.
Education isn't everything either. I'm also not sure how you think you're so much higher and mightier for taking your kids to a college football game over turning on a movie.
