People have debated about specific episode numbers after which the two movies take place, but there is a general episode range that is agreed upon by most viewers.
The Cowboy Bebop movie, for example, has Ed, Ein, Faye, Jet, and Spike all together. That would mean it has to take place after the Bebop picked up Ed, but before Ed left the Bebop. Most people like to think that it takes place in the latter half of this range, but it really doesn't matter. The movie was created to exist independently from the series, so there are no connections to the plotline of the original episodes.
