For the most part, I enjoyed them both.
It's just a shame they never got around to making the third and final one.

I was always confused by the movies. Did the BBC have any knowledge Hollywood was making a Doctor Who movie? Does it actually count as a remake of the show? If i’m correct the movie came out around the same time when Hartnell was the Doctor. So if it was meant to be a remake, why do it so soon?

I quite enjoyed them, but it disappointed me that they made the Doctor a human rather than an alien.

Yes, the film company bought the rights from the BBC, though I think it was a British film company, not Hollywood. THe films are loose remakes of the first two Dalek stories, though some things have been changed, like the Doctor being a human rather than an alien, and there are more comical elements. SInce there was I think only one repeat allowed of BBC shows in those days, the films would have been a way of re visiting the Daleks for fans, also since there was no colour Tv in those days, it would have been quite exciting to see them in colour.

Neither film could have proceeded without the direct permission of the BBC.
They are not remakes. They are big budget, full colour, cinematic adaptions based upon the original BBC DOCTOR WHO TV series.

I just could not stand the idea that Doctor Who was just a guy who built a TARDIS in his back yard!? Also, I could not stand the fact that his name was "Doctor Who" and he introduced himself to people that way.

I agree with most of what has been said about the movies in relation to Our Favorite Show. But there is one way in which the movies were better.
William Hartnell was not really the star of his own show until into the second season. For example, in The Daleks he is sick and unconscious for the majority of at least two episodes. As the TARDIS team is escaping at the same time the Thals are coming in for food, it is Ian who races out to warn them. The movie, rightly, gives this action to the Doctor (or should I say Doctor Who?). On TV is it Ian who pretends to take a Thal woman to the Daleks in order to encourage them to take action. The movie, again rightly, has the Doctor do this. There are other examples in the films where the Doctor is in charge whereas at those same spots in the TV version of the story Hartnell is off camera or incapacitated, e.g. he passes out while trying to disarm the Dalek bomb that will destroy London leaving it to Susan and her boyfriend to save the day. The First Doctor did not start being the main hero of his own show until Vicky comes on board. It amazed me at the end of Vicky’s first story that the Doctor himself goes underground to face the villain instead of a male companion.
