Damn while getting ready to face Cell, Goku and the Z-Fighters had to take on Broly and Cooler talk about a hard schedule lol.

I'll try my hand at this.

23rd Budokai Tenkaichi
***THE DEADZONE MOVIE
The Saiyan Saga
***THE WORLD'S STRONGEST
***THE TREE OF MIGHT (I'm thinking this and the World's Strongest are alternate realities where Piccolo and the others lived through the battle with the Saiyans, and kind of explains why they still kinda expected one or two more).
***LORD SUG (Right before they left for Namek, and the Fact that after the movie Piccolo's pretty gone so maybe he did die... hence why the go to Namek)
The Namek Saga: The Captian Ginyu Saga: The Frieza Saga: The Garlic Jr. Saga: The Trunks Saga
***COOLER's REVENGE (We had a 3 year break... Gohan's still young and I guess we get his tail back for some reason... I dunno, but I doubt that Cooler would have waited around that long. That and Legacy of Goku II implicates that just a bit, the Legacy of Goku games kinda work non-canon stuff into the timeline)
***THE RETURN OF COOLER (Gohan still hasn't transformed, we have no Trunks, the Super Namek Thing is kind of a throw away... and who knows about Dende? He's in the movie for 22 seconds, we can ignore Dende. Maybe he was a pyschic projection that Kami used... That and to be fair technically Goku's the only one that saw Vegeta transform into a Super Saiyan so that explains how the others could have been surprised.)
The Android Saga
***SUPER ANDROID 13 (Goku's kicking, Trunks has a sword and short hair, Vegeta's a Super Saiyan, Gohan is not, and Piccolo's still not as tough as Goku. We see Gero's dead, and the others have a good idea on who the Androids are. That and... well there is a brief break in the action right after the Z Fighters got whipped by the Androids before they jumped into the Cell Arc, so I'm gonna assert that they were very busy that week)
The Imperfect Cell Arc: The Perfect Cell Arc
***BROLY: THE LEGENDARY SUPER SAIYAN (9 Day Wait, and Trunks with Long Hair anyone? Everyone's a Super Saiyan, Piccolo's still reasonably plot relevant. I'd say that's fine. I still can't figure why Goku and Gohan were in their base form. Maybe they needed to power down so Gohan could interview for Private School? I dunno, I don't think that's the biggest plot hole in the movie *Cough* Broly has a bulls*it reason to hate Goku and his motivation makes no sense *Cough*)
The Cell Games
***BOJACK UNBOUND (We have 7 years to do this, this isn't an issue)
The Great Saiyaman Arc
***BROLY SECOND COMING (Gohan, Trunks and Goten are the main characters, Videl is there and can fly. They had a couple months before the tourney, so I think an adventure was probably just fine.)
Great Saiyaman World Tourney
***BIO-BROLY (Right, right, right after the tournament. Explains why Goten and Trunks didn't show up to the Buu fight for like 20 episodes after they left. Massively hypersonic super saiyans my arse, shoulda taken them ten minutes like everyone else.)
Majin Buu Saga
***FUSION REBORN (The fusion concept is introduced, and I think in Buu's Fury this is where they put it anyway. It's for gameplay reasons, but I'm ok with it)
Super Buu Saga/Fusion Saga
Kid Buu Arc
***WRATH OF THE DRAGON (Because where else are we gonna put this?)
***YO! SON GOKU AND FRIENDS RETURN
***BATTLE OF THE GODS

And then I think everything else is self explanatory. I know I ignored both Bardock Specials, The Plan to Eradicate the (Super) Saiyans, and The History of Trunks, but those seem to blatantly state where they happened and never bring up canon debates. Mostly...

Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans would be in the 10 days preparing for Cell too right?
Goku is #1

I believe fusion reborn is at an awkward place just due to the fact that I read somewhere that Gohan was originally gonna be the one to defeat Buu. Im not sure this is true because manga obviously came way before the anime.

It takes a mere second for treasure to turn to trash.

These lists are really interesting and I'll have to bookmark this topic. It's definitely a good idea to have a discussion about this since it's so important to the storyline and how they go together in debates. Very important with power levels.

Dead Zone: After DB and before the Radtiz fight.

Worlds's Strongest: Alternate reality where Goku arrives and beats Nappa and Vegeta before aPiccolo dies. Best fits right after the fight with Vegeta.

Tree of Might: Goku arrives and saves everyone here. Best fits during the namek saga before the Captain Ginyu fight.

Lord Slug: Best fits during the Ginyu saga. Assuming Goku beat Ginyu without losing his body and then beat 1st form Frieza and Vegeta after reviving Piccolo.

Cooler's revenge: Goku comes straight home after beating Frieza and does no yadrat training.

Return of Cooler: retcons the events of Cooler's revenge to the start of the 3 year training for the Androids. Best fits at the end of the Android training despite Dende being on Earth. Goku is the only one that sees Vegeta as a SSJ and everyone is early Android saga tire.

Super 13: Best fits in Imperfect Cell saga. Assuming Piccolo destroys Cell and later 17 and 18 and 16 is somehow brought down by the Z warriors.

Broly 1: Best fits in the 10 days of waiting for the Cell games. Assuming Vegeta or Trunks beats Cell or Piccolo is in the ROSAT as Vegeta and Trunks use SSJgr2 still. Goku is stronger than Gohan, could be due to Cell's defeat or Gohan just not being confident.

Bojack Unbound: Best fits after Cell games.

Broly 2: Best fits pre 25th Budokai. Broly is revealed to have survived and is awakened 7 years later. Goten and Trunks are look for the dragonballs to show Videl and Gohan is still preparing for the budokai. Seeing Videl, Goten and Trunks hurt allow Gohan to go SSJ2.

Bio Broly: Best fits after Majin Vegeta vs Majin Buu. Assuming that Majin Vegeta beat Majin Buu and Goku goes back to the other world. Gohan could be in the other world or just didn't show up to help. In this universe due to the time placing Goku does not have SSJ3.

Fusion Reborn: Best fits after the Super Buu fight. Either Gohan or Gotenks kills Super Buu)original Manga ending universe). Goku is still dead and has increased his power, vegeta is still dead as well and with Buu gone has not received a body.

Warth of the Dragon: Best fits after Kid Buu is beat: Gohan and Gotenks say the same while Goku and Vegeta have increase in power with Goku beating Gohan and Gotenks. Goku learns Dragon fist.

The movies are not canon therefore do not fit into the timeline. They are side stories (said by Toriyama himself) and you can't make perfect sense of what happens in them. Especially Worlds Strongest. Too many things don't add up.

If we can do some cleaning up, I wouldn't mind putting it in the Resource thread as well. Just in case someone may need to use it one day. Like myself.

I don't understand how the tree of might and the world's strongest are between trunks saga and the android saga. I mean, In the trunks saga, Goku should have the SSJ? And both in those movies he didn't, so explain that please.

It gives a headache to place them. Agree with Coolest.

It was fun trying to place them though. Of course they are side-stories, but if they were canon, I'd reckon that's whereabout they would be.

Then why make the movies at all if they aren't canon if they don't fit in the storyline and by the way if you watch The Worlds Strongest movie right after the episode Goku's Ordeal you can see how that movie can takes place in the series and I'm gonna explain it to you ok in the episode Goku's Ordeal when Goku,Gohan and,Piccolo begins training just before the episode is about to end you first see them training in the wasteland and its sunset outside and then you see them continue training again but they're not in the same area they moved from the wasteland to the arctic areas where its all icey and snowy at and Gohan was doing pretty good in his training against Goku and Piccolo; but let me not get off topic in the movie Worlds Strongest doesn't it begin in the arctic where Goku,Gohan, and Piccolo were training at. So the reason why I think this movie could fit in the series is because of what Piccolo said in the movie while Gohan was locating the Dragonballs with Oolong; Piccolo said to himself "Well it looks like I under-estimated, How tough this training was gonna be" that was when he was testing his energy on a ice moutain to see how powerful his energy was for him to destroy it and then he also said "It'll take some serious firepower to melt the ice off these moutains"

This is explained in the OP. Not the SSJ part, but the reason I think they are in the stated arc.
