Hi !

Am closing this one sooner than usual. Have a few fresh ones up my sleeve. Here are the answers.

1. They are movies where the directors have cast their own daughters.

A Walk with Love and Death & Prizzi's Honor - John Huston & Anjelica Huston

2. Golconda

3. Bose (Amar Bose is the guy in question)

5. Feral children (i.e. raised by wild animals)
Enkidu - Wild animals (The Epic of Gilgamesh doesn't provide specifics)
Mowgli - Wolves
Tarzan - Apes
Remus & Romulus - Wolves (which is why JK used the name Remus for a character that turns into a werewolf)

6. Layla
The painting is og Nezāmi-ye Ganjavi, who wrote Layli o Majnun(Layla and Majnun).
The four men constitute Derek and the Dominos (featuring Eric Clapton - leftmost) who recorded the song Layla.
The logo featured is Vauxhall (European equivalent of Opel). The guitar riff in Layla was used in the 90s Vauxhall ads.
The girl is Pattie Boyd whom Clapton fell in love with when she was George Harrison's wife. The song Layla is an expression of his love for her. He did marry her later but the couple separated after 10 years.
The artwork (bottom rightmost) is seen on the album of 'Layla'.
