You're more or less there. Here's the full explanation, most of which you've got.
1. The Colditz Story (1955) - used as a POW camp, as was Alcatraz.
2. Some like it Hot (1959) - parody on the St Valentine Day massacre organised by Al Capone, an infamous inmate.
3. The Citadel (1938) - "The citadel" is part of the Alcatraz fortress.
4. Catch Me If You Can (2002) - One of Frank Abagnale's assumed identities was as a U.S. Bureau of Prisons agent. The Bureau was responsible for the Alcatraz penitentiary.
5. The Pelican Brief (1993) - Pelican Island was the original name of the Rock
6. The Dark Tower (2017) &...
7. Psycho (1960) - References to Zealous Bates Tower who was responsible for the construction. (I didn't know about the water tower.) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zealous_Bates_Tower
