Melvin Van Peebles' 1968 The Story of a Three Day Pass is the earliest one I've seen, but I've seen the same attributions that das has.

As an aside, "dork" was the Saxon word for "penis" but it failed to evolve into a profanity like its lingual siblings.

Another vote for M*A*S*H. I recently saw a documentary about the film where they stated how much flack they took and how they wanted the word dubbed but they argued that it would be the first usage of the word in mainstream film and it fit so well with the characters of the flicks rebelious nature.
