I saw King Kong vs. Godzilla in the drive in when I was about 8 years old. Then the first movie I saw by myself in a movie theater a year or two later was Godzilla vs. the Thing (aka Mothra vs. Godzilla). That's probably why I still have a fondness for the old Godzilla films.

Interesting bit on the fallibility of memory - I was going to say I had a similar experience to you, but with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. But on second thought, I think it was actually the Snow White *ride* at Walt Disney World that scared me, and I'm not sure I ever saw the film as a kid.

First actual, reliable memory was seeing Benji with my mom at what would have been age 5, and enjoying it. I've always liked movies about dogs, cats, and other animals.
