Rurouni Kenshin is a tv series that takes place 10 years after the OVAs Trust and Betrayal. The revolution is now over and he is a wanderer. He meets a woman who runs a school for swordsmanship (she is carrying on her father's tradition) and Kenshin decides to hang around for a while. The tone is a lighter than the OVAs and mixes a bit of humor into the action (not nearly as grim and bloody). The Samurai X movie takes place during the TV series after Kenshin and a couple of other characters just sort of end up living at this woman's school. You should probably see the first 2 to 4 disks of the TV series before the movie or you won't know who all the extra characters are, their relationships and how Kenshin has changed since the revolution. While the movie probably takes place about a third of the way into the TV series story-line, the movie is more serious and does get rather intense in places like the original OVAs (nearly as good but now Kenshin is trying to prevent the carnage instead of causing it).
Personally, I love the OVAs, movie and TV series. Oh, there was an audio problem with the first pressing of the first TV series disk... the phase was reversed on the left channel (being too lazy to flip a speaker cable, I just used headphones).
(^-^) Yeah, Madadayo is my favorite film. Yes, the old guy was sure hooked on his neko... nya nya goro goro (or "meow meow purr purr" in English). I had one once that I loved nearly as much. Love the way the old guy can deliver a joke too... the timing is so right that it's funny even if you don't understand Japanese and have to rely on the subtitles (I had a teacher like that once... he could say most anything and make it seem funny because of his timing and delivery)
