Does "Jaws" count? It wouldn't be PG these days but I'd say it counts as horror.
"The Birds" was technically unrated when it came out. I've seen it rated as PG-13 now, but not sure what that's based on since it is from way before PG-13.
I definitely think those count. There's a few places that list Matanago as unrated as well and I feel like age ratings change with the times.
The MPAA rating system didn't start widespread use until the early 1970s, and even then (as you'd expect since since it is the MPA"A") only in the USA. Other rating systems in other countries followed later (for the most part).
So any movie prior to that would have been unrated when it came out. Especially if it was a non-USA production.
Any rating you see on a movie older than that has been applied after the fact.
Thanks for mentioning that.
