Dang.
The first one sounds like The Maltese Falcon, and I think eleven of the angry men voted to convict, but these are stumpers.

1. The Maltese Falconsounds like is correct, it is.
2. Psycho, It's right at the beginning when she's driving out of town. He had to start putting them nearer and nearer the beginning of films because the audience would be so distracted by looking for him that they'd miss plot points- by the time he got to North By Northwest he was in the opening credits.

3. The BBC-which makes sense since it was filmed in England (I looked that up though).

4. 11

5. Ronald Reagon - seriously.
