Oh, dear. Not being interested, I tend not to pay attention. (I watch a lot of movies...on TV. This means I am more likely to see "Swing Time" than "Twilight Zone: The Movie.)
Here goes nothin':
I say Yes to 3, 6, 7, 10.
I am sure of the first three (I think) but I imagine this is too few to be right. I don't shop by Director, so to speak. I've seen quite a few of the movies...
Pooh. Another gap in my education.

8. Splash: No (Ron Howard)

2. Black Hawk Down -- NO
3. Close Encounters of the Third Kind -- YES
4. Empire of the Sun -- YES
5. Jaws -- YES
6. Munich -- YES
7. Schindler's List -- YES
8. Splash -- NO, although doing my "just to make sure" check enlightened me as to where the bizarre practice of naming girls "Madison" came from, so that's good.
9. Stand By Me -- NO
10. Terminator -- NO
11. The Color Purple -- YES
12. Twilight Zone: The Movie -- YES, he directed one of the segments and produced the whole.
Which means that the TQLXXXVII Gold Star stays right here with Mrs.5000, who identified 11/12 correctly. It's her third Gold.
Also with 11/12, Walter takes the Silver. Walter has grabbed some Monday prizes over the last few weeks; this time, he becomes the 57th person to enter the Thursday winner's circle.
The Blue goes to d, his 5th; la gringissima and Critical Bill take Greens this week, their 7th and 4th respectively.
Darn bloglines, you made me think M5K was on hiatus...
