OMG, I can't NOT add my trauma in here.
I read the beginning of Watership Down when I was incredibly young, probably seven, and I still can't even THINK the title or, God forbid, see the cover and not feel sick.

The first four movies I saw as a kid though were ...hell, I still don't know what the adults were thinking. First movie-> orphans in war-torn Germany witness a man stuff a squirming puppy in a bag and throw it off a bridge, so decide to save animals? Some freaked out sh*t like that. Something to do with post-war starvation, flooding, and having no parents.

2. Walkabout-> My parents went out to eat and left the TV to babysit us in a hotelroom. They put it on and told us to watch it, thinking it was an Australian nature show.
In it, a man comes home from work, tells his family they're going on a picnic, takes them out to a remote spot in the desert and opens fire on them. Their mom's shot, he accidently blows himself and the car up, and the two kids almost die out in the desert. But an aborigine boy finds them and stops his visionquest to save them. Later, he hangs himself because of that, and the little boy and girl find him swinging in a tree, covered in flies.

It also seemed to have some weird sexual overtones, something about the girl and the aborigine boy feeling something for each other- so he runs out and kills himself. Or, at least that's something I connected in my head when I was a kid.

My dad still does impressions of how big mine and my brother's eyes were, when they came back.

3. The Illustrated Man-> Every tattoo is a story. Unfortunately I remember the story of the guy with the beautiful family that he loves, and he goes to a council meeting and is informed that the world is going to end that night, so 'here's a pill to give each of your kids' so they die and don't have to suffer. His wife freaks, he agrees he won't do it, they wake up the next morning, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, he got up in the night and fed the kids their pills.

4. Finally-> seven years old, first sleepover, Brownies. Brownie leader lets us watch the late show. Something black-and-white about this guy who digs up his ancestors and they've all scratched the shit out of the inside of their tombs because THEY WERE BURIED ALIVE AND NO ONE COULD TELL.
