1) Plays or moves in TT
2) Nixon Forst interviews, blanks are frost
3) Smiley

i'd hazard ping pong diplomacy
or perhaps parts of the movie Forrest Gump.
Both seem valid

1)Ping pong(do you know? by-Enrique is known as the ping pong song)
2)Nixon Frost interviews(no explanations required for the connect with the title)
3)Smiley(the image is representation of Harvey Balls, Harvey Ball is the creator of smiley)
The connect is Forrest Gump ,even ping pong diplomacy can be considered.
