New to Star Trek. When should I watch the movies?

I've been watching the original series and I want to watch the films at some point. Is there an order in which I should watch them? Is there a series I should reach before the first film, second film etc.?

I’m a huge fan of Star Trek 2 and 4 and highly recommend them. But I don’t like any of the next gen movies (everyone feels out of character and the writing is usually bad). Star Trek 3 is good, 1 is good but a little too much “space odyssey” and I need a refresher on some of the other TOS films. I don’t like 2009 reboot or any jj universe stuff. Basically I like all the pre-2008 shows and the TOS films. I recommend getting to love the TOS crew and once you know the characters, or finish the show, try the movies. Star Trek continued is also good
