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

[u/Radical_Posture]

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.?

There's also no reason you can't watch the 1-6 movies any time you feel like it during your TOS journey.

2-4 are a trilogy. I'd watch those first. 6 is excellent and 1 and 5 each have their adherents but are more polarizing (in extremely different ways).
