Where the red fern grows is the first I can remember. That was a serious cry fest. I can remember the whole theater was full of crying kids.
Possibly, The Wizard of Oz. I was pretty young and my parents took me and my sister to some drive-in. Not sure if that was before or after Red Fern.

When it came out i thought "Good Burger" was about the best damn thing I had ever seen. Probably watched that orange tape about 15 times before we returned it to blockbuster

That is the first I can remember, age 5 in 1963.
Mary Poppins, Sound of Music, Jungle Book, The Love Bug were some other early ones.
Old Yeller is in there somewhere. It was filmed before I was born but I saw it in a theater in the early 60's somehow.

In the 1960's and even into the early 70's theaters ran old movies to fill the bills.
I saw many movies form the 1930's at the theater, of course Gone With The Wind played at The Robert E. Lee in 1967, The Boardmoor and the Bon Marche (around 1977), etc. The Dalton mostly played older movies and it was cheap and I was always going to see movies like King Kong, Robin Hood, etc.
I saw Birth of a Nation at the Boardmoor when it played there in the mid 1970's.

I can remember going to movies during WWII with my mother. Don't remember the movies being shown, but can remember the news reels. First movie I can actually recall was Winchester 73. Although my dad was in college in 1950 at Southeastern, he went to summer school that year at Tulane. The family went on the train to New Orleans one weekend to visit him, and we went to see that movie at the Saenger. That was a most impressive movie palace to a 8 year old used to small town theaters.

The Sound of Music. It was my first real date. He was 7 and I was 6.

Snow White... My grandmother brought me to see it and it actually scared the jeebus out of me.

I think The Apple Dumpling Gang was the first movie I remember seeing in a theater.
My mother took me with her to a re-release of Gone With the Wind sometime around that time, but I slept through almost the entire movie, so it doesn't count.

The Empire Strikes Back. I was 2. I still vaguely remember watching parts of the film. My dad said I started to freak when the lights dimmed in the theater.
It made a HUGE impression on me. It's probably one of the driving forces on why I love film so much.
