Now this is the one that started all, the first step of a 15-years travel.
Note: The first 2 episodes are not just bad, they are the worst episodes of the entire series. Luckily, they are anime original and you can skip to episode 3.

Gintama Movie 1: Shinyaku Benizakura-hen

Movie, 2010, 1 ep Me:- Author:-

Benizakura Arc, the one that changed it all, when Gintama demonstrated that it is not just a laughs and random sh¡t, but also serious when they want.
Such an important arc deserved to be entirely remade and screened at cinema.

Special, 2021, 2 eps Me:- Author:-

When Gintama: The Final was first released they just went to the final chapters. However, if Sunrise made a season to adapt skipped chapters, then they obviously adapted the final chapters the initially didn't.
