I posted a few way, way back in the thread that I reckon were too vague to even get guessed, so I'm reposting them with extra clues.

First:
A man rekindles the passion for his former vocation after a fantastical journey that sees him pit his skills against those of his would-be rivals. Meanwhile, facing a crisis, a famous troupe of cartoonish comedy entertainers must accept a new woman member as an equal.

Second:
A marksmanship champion thinks she's found her long-lost biological brother and mother. Just as she's about to apparently betray her lover, she learns her "mother" is actually her mother's twin sister, born 10 years later and who killed the real mother, and her "brother" was adopted. Her lover knew she was honest when she shot him at point blank range. They are pursued by a man who takes his Diet Coke with no ice.
