Name these 4 films

No, I actually don't need to know what they are. I was just flipping through the movie channels last night and watching a few minutes of each film to see what would gage my interest. I ended up falling asleep anyway. I recognized a lot of actors but I won't be naming them to make this a bit more challenging.

I don't know if this is easy or difficult, but this is what I saw last night, as best as my memory serves.

OK, here they are.

First Film. Black and white. A man who I've seen in a lot of older movies: tall, dark, handsome. He's leading a woman down a staircase. She's hurt, or drugged. He's whispering to two other people, and older man and an older woman, about distracting some men near the door. He needs to leave but doesn't want to start shooting. They eventually make it to the car, but only the man and the woman leave. The older couple stay behind.

Second Film. A younger man, possibly Middle Eastern, talks about the ballast systems on oil tankers and how they are all computerized to a group of older men in suits. He's possibly working for them, but may also be trying to steal from them. He shows a video of a virus that will hit their tankers.

Third Film. Older film, but still in color. A woman in pink shorts and a pink tube top (old-fashioned bikini?) is dancing in her kitchen. She bends over a few times but we see this all through her window, from far outside of her apartment. Downstairs, a woman goes out to sun herself.

Fourth Film. Looks to be from the 1960s or 1970s. A blonde man is in bed with a young woman. (At this point I flip the channel, then come back to this one). The man is putting on his pants and running out of the house. The woman is chasing him, screaming something like "Daddy, he doesn't have it! He doesn't have it!" An older man appears. He tells the young man he's part of the family, and the young man yells at him, calling him obsessed with money. The father then gets annoyed and slaps his daughter on the behind as she goes back into the house. The movie may have been sent pre-World War II.

What were these movies?

It's been a while, but this one sounds like "Rear Window"

I think we'd all agree that we're an interpretive dance away from coming up with titles for #2 and #4.
