Hello, I need help identifying 2 movies I saw on CBC in
the 80's or early 90's.. One is a british movie and one is a world war II? movie

British Movie:
There was a british movie back in the 80's-90's that involved a guy
who built remote control cars for hobby... He had a remote control car
outfitted with video camera attached and he would use the cart to pick
up milk, groceries, etc.
Then one day he came up witht the idea that he could use the remote
control cars to rob a bank with a gun attached to the car. The movie
peaked when they wanted to pull off the huge one and he disguised the
remote control cars as garbage cans in an office building. Finally at
the end, they escaped the police on a fake trolly.

World war II movie (really vague description):
i cant remember too much about this movie, but I remember it was about
a bunch of prisoners who escaped from a german prison camp. They
outfitted a train boxcar with a false wall and hid behind it to escape
over the border.

I believe the first movie is "Malcolm," and the second one is "Von Ryan's Express."

Malcolm
http://imdb.com/title/tt0091464/

Von Ryan's Express
http://imdb.com/title/tt0059885/

Please let me know if these are the correct movies.
