Thats "What's Up Doc"
The newlyweds and The Unbalanced Woman is Ryan O'Neal & Madeline Kahn, The Mysterious Woman is Barbara Striesand (Oy Vey!) who just wont leave Ryan alone. And basically its a movie from the 70's that takes place in San Francsico.
Ok....to get things going here....An entourage of people at a secluded diner kneel over a dying man and find out theres hidden cash in several spots. But to obtain the cash, the have to solve a riddle to get the cash. The actors in the movie as usual cheat and gets greeedy when moola is involved. This plot of this movie is similar to one from the 60's and was done again in 2001.

Yes Peter is correct cause the descriptions of Waking Up In A Coffin in Mexico, plunging into the river in a locked taxi car and the woman (Deaborah Kara Unger,the waitress who spills water, I think on Michael Douglas) were dead give aways....Ok since no one is continuing, I shall do another.....
A guy is appalled when the city ignores his older brothers claim. The older brother is a firefighter who got injured on the job while off duty. Despite a minor technicality in the case, the older brother went out of his way to save a life. So in order for the older brother to get compensation for his injuries, the younger brother uses his older bros badge number at media related areas in the city.

She meets "The Fool", a funambulist. She feels like going with him, but he puts confusion in her mind by pointing out that perhaps the strongman is in fact in love with her...
It is a rather tragic tale, and the ending has the strongman being the only survivor, with the girl and "The Fool" dead.

This is an easy one.
A teen movie about a troubled teen who goes to a new high school, befriends a boy who seems to idolize him, and finds love in a girl whose prior interest died in a car crash. He is later put on the run with his two friends as he is chased by gang members, and then the police in a climatic, tragic ending.
You call that easy?
