A long shot (hee hee), but is 8 Three Days of the Condor?

I'm afraid not, it is made in the 70's but not an American film.

Bit of a guess, thought of it yesterday when I saw it first but thought it too low brow for this thread and therefore discounted it. Lol.

I'm afraid it's not derailed, the train doesn't have a huge part in the film but it is central to bringing the two main characters together.

Not Apollo 13 but a very similar film, a lot newer.
Yes that is Ayers Rock in no. 9.

ButtersSuki

Another guess on 2 then.
Is it Unbreakable?

Well, if 1 is a Chaplin film...and it can't be "A Woman of Paris", which I originally thought it might be (can't be, though, as you say that whoever wrote and directed it also starred in it), I will go for "The Circus".
