3. Rosemary’s Baby
4. Shortcut to Happiness

A modern-day remake of _The Devil and Daniel Webster_ with Jennifer Love Hewitt playing the Devil. Alec Baldwin played Jabez Stone and Anthony Hopkins played Daniel Webster. Baldwin also produced and directed it but had those credits removed.

I haven’t seen it but it was made in 2001 and then not released in theaters until 2007. And it wasn’t released on DVD until 2019.
