Status: offline 		fluff; you had me grabbing my map to check whether you had an alternative answer. Nope. They all have islands of one form or another.  For example, Quebec has islands on its northern boundary.

OK, then...

Status: offline 		Oops. I got lucky. I couldn't remember if George Baker was in that, and I couldn't even recall who Sian Phillips is. The Derek Jacobi and Patrick Stewart combo seemed like a good basis for a shot in the dark.

OK. This is a little tougher, and certainly tougher than it will appear at first glance.


September
October
November
December

Hint: It's not that these are the four months during which autumn occurs, and in fact it has nothing do at all to do with the seasons. The historical commonality here is one that only these 4 months share.

However, in a way you're much warmer than you probably realize.

September: Labor Day
October: Columbus Day
November: Veterans Day, Thanksgiving
December: Christmas

Status: offline 		Oh, that's a shrewd guess too. But no, that's not it. Fluffy's guess that the commonality has to do with their root language was closer to the right general direction, in the sense that the commonality they share goes back thousands of years.

Panda, are you looking for carry-off from an older calendar (as Sept-Dec mean months 7-10, although they are our months 9-12)?

Fluffy already pointed out all the others are after names--Norse and Roman gods and two emperors.
