Tuesday Trivia: Now with really stupid theme!

There’s a theme here, but it may be kind of obscure. You can get the movies without the theme.

Solved by Ken (comment #10).

3. She drops her wedding ring down the shower drain.
Solved by Trevor J (comment #12).

4. Production of this movie hit the gossip columns when the single male star and the married female star had an on-set affair. As a result, a sex scene between the two was cut and has never seen the light of day. Instead, the male star (who plays a single character) and the female star (who plays a married character) have one passionate kiss at the end, before she is reunited with her husband. In real life, the actress’s marriage did not fare as well.
Solved by maurinsky (comment #2) and Trevor J (comment #3) at the same time.
