watch the series first definitely, gives you a stronger connection with the characters so you'll get more out of the movie, plus the events in the movie take place after the events in the series, so the movie will make more sense.

I love unanimous answers to difficult questions.
No, I don't live in a screening city or swipe deer.

Welcome, Deerswiper! We're glad to have you aboard.
By now, you've probably made up your mind but let me just throw in one more vote for the series before the movie. I think it will make things much clearer.
Please post again and keep us updated on what you think of the episodes and the BDM!

Another vote for the series in DVD order and then the BDM. You will become addicted like all of us here.
After you watch the BDS and the BDM watch the episodes with the commentaries on. The commentaries are as good as the episodes. They give a lot fo background as to what was going on on the set, the interaction between the actors etc.
One day.
One plan.
One army of Browncoats.

Id watch the DVD series first then the BDM so that you get to learn all about the charaters and everything.

Welcome,I agree, watch the series in order as it appears on the dvd package, then watch the movie. Some of the things in the movie won't make a whole lot of sense otherwise.
Edit:Deerswiper, you got the correct board, so no worries!

Welcome, Deerswiper!
No need for me to add to the unanimity.
Heh.
Sure envy you having so much Firefly still to watch. Most of the rest of us are wearing out our discs.
The coat looks great on you.
When you get hungry, check out the galley. We've all kinds of goodies, starting with strawberries.

DEERSWIPER! This is an opportunity in deed. DO NOT WATCH THEM ALONE. Watch them with someone like yourself, who hasnt seen them yet. Or grab a couple people. Trust me, it will be much easier to convert all of you at the same time, because later you will get too excited about this show and not be able to share with some of your friends. They will brush it aside as a "stupid show" that you're into and give you looks....oh the looks 
...just do it please.

Nope it's not an Inappropriate post :) However you have to watch them from the pilot. Firefly has a massive focus on continuity. For example the 8th episode is based on small things mentioned in the pilot. You cant watch 'Trash' before you have watched 'Our Mrs Reynolds' because you will just say 'who is she?'. Firefly is not like Star trek where you can watch 'Best of Both Worlds' and totally enjoy it and get it without having seen any other Next Gen episode. Firefly has a heavy character focus, unlike any other Sci-FI series. It puts you right in the middle of those characters and treats you like a crew member of Serenity. At the end of watching the series you will love Mal Reynolds like he is part of your own family. To get maximum enjoyment you must watch the series in order
