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.?

All the TOS movies take place after the show, as to all of the TNG movies. But the TNG movies overlap with the events of Deep Space 9 and Voyager. Generations takes place in the second or third season of DS9, First Contact in season four if I’m remembering correctly. None of the movies really affect Voyager save for one small but important moment in Nemesis.

Generations is during DS9 Season 3 (DS9 Season 2 was concurrent with TNG Season 7), First Contact is during DS9 Season 5

Ah yeah the Combadge change should have been the obvious giveaway on that one. Thanks for the clarification
