Eeeer I don't know exactly what you mean by the original stargate movie. But um, in short, YES you should start watching SGA! SGA is the one that attracts more fangirls, and for good reason. I've never seen SG-1 myself, but what SGA has, for one thing, is a major slash pairing that might as well be canon - I mean, I haven't seen subtext like this since... Remus and Sirius. And beyond that, the show is pure joy - the entire cast has such wonderful chemistry. You really come to care about them. It's hilarious, too! Basically it's incredibly awesomesauce and you need it in your life, stat.
Obviously you don't need to have seen SG-1 - there's quite a few references to it, and characters make guest appearances (because the two shows shoot in the same building - haha), but they do a fine job explaining everything, and you don't really feel lost. SGA is totally the way to go :D
