I did think of Titanic from TS's clue but couldn't see the link. I had to Google too - they all share surnames with people who were due to sail on the Titanic but for one reason or another didn't...

LOL - don't know the other three but I think the Connection is the "Road to xxx" films so I'll guess 4 is a Singapore Sling and 6 must be Morocco. Can't remember the last two films though...
