I asked for beginner Gundam recommendations here a few months back on the condition that no series older than 1990 be recommended, and after having enjoyed both Gundam 00 and Gundam Seed (I've also just recently started Wing), I've grown an interest for Zeta Gundam, but would like to have knowledge of the original series before watching.
[/tl;dr]

So in short, would watching the three original Gundam movies be sufficient to cover the original series if I want to get to know the original Gundam and gain the backstory knowledge needed for Zeta and the 008X OVA's?

Thanks.

EDIT: Could I also get help with the UC Gundam series and the order in which I should watch series (discounting the first), movies, OVA's, etc?
