I would suggest starting with the first of the trilogy, 'The Omen' (1976) starring Gregory Peck and Lee Remick, and then 'Damien Omen II' with William Holden, Lee Grant and Robert Foxworth (among others), which will give you a full view and understanding of the 'Final Conflict'.
The character of Damien Thorn is (IMHO) one of the great tragic dramas of modern cinematography. It combines the prophetic Scriptures of the Bible regarding the End Times and the 'Beast' of Revelation 13, with modern events regarding the life of the Antichrist before he achieves ultimate power.
Unfortunately the story line does not completely line up with Scripture, however it is still an exceptionally well done series of films, the second one (Damien II) stars a young actor by the name of Jonathan Scott-Taylor who portrays the Antichrist as a young adolescent who unexpectedly discovers his true fate, that he is in fact doomed eternally, that young actor did a superb job, and curiously, after the film was released, he never again worked in the industry and deliberately chose to fade into obscurity.
I don't think you'll be disappointed. Enjoy!
