The tv series is taking place before the movies so you should start with the boruto tv anime because it seems they are starting over again and explaining the lore for new viewers.

For anyone getting into Naruto just now, the chronological order to watch should be:

1. Naruto (Filler Guide)
2. Naruto Shippuden (Filler Guide)
3. The Last: Naruto the Movie
4. The Day Naruto Became Hokage (OVA)
5. Boruto: Naruto Next Generations
6. Boruto: Naruto the Movie

That would be the order that follows the timeline in a chronological sense.

However, I would recommend watching Boruto: Naruto the Movie first even if it takes place slightly into the future (about two years after the anime, when they're genin), because there's no telling how long the anime will go before they get to that point. And the movie itself is a masterpiece that's worth seeing by any fan of the series.

Furthermore, the movie came out before there was even any mention of an anime adaptation ever coming out, so most fans of the series have already seen this movie and are able to enjoy the anime just the same.

Thnx. I was actually wondering if such a website existed.

It is always the best to watch in order of release.

For the "Entire Naruto Experience" I agree that watching everything in the order of release is best, despite the fact that The Last jumps the gun story-wise (time skip), and was released more than 2 years before the end of the anime, but takes place after most of those events. The only true exception to this rule is the Boruto movie, which should absolutely be viewed after watching all of Naruto.

Having watched the entire series/movies in the span of about 5 months recently, I was unaware of that fact. I just went by release date in conjunction with the series. All the other movies do not have canonical events, but the they do contain suggestions/skills/events referenced throughout the series to those points.

Though I still enjoyed, and preferred, seeing The Last when I did, if you want a completely spoiler free experience, then go with this standard guide:

Naruto 1 - 101
Clash in the Land of Snow
Naruto 102 - 160
Legend of the Stone of Gelel
Naruto 161 - 196
Guardians of the Crescent Moon Kingdom
Naruto 197 - 220

Shippuden 1 - 23
Naruto Shippuden the Movie
Shippuden 24 - 70
Bonds
Shippuden 71 - 121
The Will of Fire
Shippuden 122 - 169
The Lost Tower
Shippuden 170 - 221
Blood Prison
Shippuden 222 - 271
Road to Ninja
Shippuden 272 - 390 (or to 479, if you want spoiler free before The Last)
The Last
Shippuden 391 - 500
Boruto: Naruto the Movie
Boruto Series
