The film is indeed great. Don't know if you watched the TV show but I suggest to watch that one first if you haven't.

I just rewatched the whole Twin Peaks series and then got a 3,5 hour fan cut of FWWM that I watched as I remember didn´t like the movie when it first came out. It was great as a whole and that fan cut answered alot and was cronologically edited and more understandable than the original FWWM.
About Twin Peaks as a serie , the first season was best and then it went downhill with season two.
Love me some Killer Bob thou as he scared me half to death back in the early 90´s

The film is SUPERB -- one of the ten best of the 90s, IMO. Thankfully, it's now getting the credit it deserves.
It's a very emotional journey as Laura Palmer depends into a very private hell that leads to her death.
Great Score and a very good film that stands up to the test of time.

See, I saw Fire Walk With Me before I saw the series. I was approaching it in context of other David Lynch films — this was right before Lost Highway came out, so we're talking about everything up to Wild At Heart.
FWWM is definitely a moment of transition in Lynch's work back from Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks and Wild At Heart, which were essentially linear stories with layers of weirdness to the much more dreamlike milieu that characterized his earlier and later work (the anomalous The Straight Story notwithstanding).
I ended up catching up to the series courtesy of a friend who had taped the episodes and would dole them out two at a time in order to preserve some of the suspense. It was infuriating at the time, but in retrospect I really kind of appreciate that he did that. But I was also watching the series from in context of the film (you could say I watched the show from the non-temporal perspective of the Black Lodge), which meant that some of its weirder elements were also some of the more familiar to me. That included a lot of what happened in the second season, much of which informs the film quite a bit.
The film was really introducing Laura Palmer for the first time; she gets discussed a lot, but her death is the generating image of the series. Much of the “mystery” that is the subject of the investigation that the show revolves around at the beginning wasn't so mysterious for me because I had already seen what had happened.
So I think you can watch the film before or after the series, but the show is probably more effective if you haven't seen the film.
For my money, Moira Kelly made a better Donna than Lara Flynn Boyle. But that's just me.
Angelo Badalamenti was always credited as having composed and conducted the music from the show and the film, but I don't recall ever hearing anything in either that one would need to conduct.
