I don't think serialized television counts as a movie either. It's the serialization that is the difference. So I would count something like Salem's Lot as being a movie, but not Berlin Alexanderplatz.
But I also don't think this distinction matters very much as both art forms essentially are composed of the same thing (sound, images, editing). So I just call them movies, even if they aren't, and am done with it.

But Berlin Alexanderplatz or Histories of Cinema are exceptions from the rule. I can't imagine anybody arguing that Prison Break of M.A.S.H or Game of Thrones is a movie. Not with a straight face. And yet people are still doing it! Their reasoning seems to be that since some mini-series can be interpreted as films, then all TV series can be films.
