Death and Rebirth first, then End of Evangelion. Hence the word "End" in the title Razz.

Yes Death and Rebirth then End of Evangellion, although Death and Rebirth if you really wanted you could skip, its just a recap of the series.

You may as well watch it though, since it will give you more of a background to the Evangelion universe.
Good movies, too.

Well If you own the PLATINUM complete series of Evangelion, don't watch the 1st Eva. movie "Death And Rebirth". It shows a lot of flashbacks from the TV Eva. series. Plus, it shows about 30 min. of the beginning of the 2nd movie "End Of Evangelion". See the second movie, because it shows the TRUE ENDING in the Eva. saga.

There was new footage added to Death and Rebirth, but if I remember correctly, a lot of it was added to the Director's Cut version of the TV series. There was a delay between the time I watched the the TV series and EoE, so I found it useful as a refresher on my first viewing of the series.

From what I've known over the years, both the TV and movie endings are official canon.

Well, if you ask Hideaki Anno, the TV series was the "true" ending of the movie. He only made the movies because so many people in Japan whined about hating/not understanding the end of the TV series.

Okay, I think the user knows the answer now. And for reference, try using the Encyclopedia next time first. Thanks.
