I think that each person represents a

City in the US with the same first two letters

And the movies involve

Characters whose names derive from sports teams from that city

Daniel: Interstellar, Top Gun, True Grit

Dallas: Stars, Mavericks, Cowboys

Deanna: The Fast and the Furious, Life of Pi, The Wizard of Oz

Detroit: Pistons, Tigers, Lions

Louise: Babe, Excalibur, Legion

Los Angeles: Rams, Kings, Angels

Michelle: The Grey, How to Train Your Dragon, The Parent Trap

Minnesota: Timberwolves, Vikings, Twins

Neal: Cast Away, Gulliver's Travels, Romeo Must Die

New York: Islanders, Giants, Jets (Jet Li is the actor)

Piper: Flashdance, Madagascar, The Princess Bride

Pittsburgh: Steelers, Penguins, Pirates (thanks kayzeroshort and OP, although I still like Vengeance for this one)

Taylor: Cars, Goodfellas, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl

Tampa: Lightning (Lightning McCloud is a character in Cars), Rays (thanks kayzeroshort), Buccaneers

Wayne: Dances with Wolves, Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone, Midnight in Paris

Washington: Redskins (Native Americans), Wizards, Capitals (Paris is the capital of France)

    Nice work! I'm thinking these are the intended answers: rot13(Cvengrf sbe Cevaprff Oevqr; Enlf sbe Tbbqsryynf (Enl Yvbggn)),; though your answers also work :) – kayzeroshort Sep 23 '19 at 17:22
  • Kayzeroshort is right about those two. Think rot13(Qernq Cvengr Eboregf) for The Princess Bride. The others are all correct. BTW, the names have the first two letters in common! Oh and I just had a thought that I should have put Hellboy as the movie instead of Dances with Wolves. Too bad I didn't think of it. – JS1 Sep 23 '19 at 23:33
