Sorry , didn't notice that Bruder Cuzzen solved #12 (or did he edit it in later )

#12, Untold Scandal is the Korean adaption of Les Liaisons Dangereuses

That leaves the serial killer in the drive-in with the famous actor question and the sportive seafood (I dropped enough hints for the latter)

The way question #1 was worded here Saved from the Titanic would have been indeed correct. The intended answer (In Nacht und Eis) is correct with the conditions accidentally left out in the first version(and 35 minutes was exceptionally long in 1912). Damn those unreliable movie dictionaries!

If 35 minutes was exceptionally long (say the equivalent in modern times of The Cure for Insomnia at 87 hrs) then at 10 minutes Saved from the Titanic would be the equivalent of 25hrs long making it the something like Die Zweite Heimat - Chronik Einer Jugend. That is one long film!   

Please rest assured that i accept your unreserved apology for so heinously maligning my answer and that your offer of £1000 in compensation for mental stress and inconvenience is entirely acceptable. rest assured that I will put this towards the peoples struggle (and not spend it on a PS3 and a bunch of games.... honest!).

lots of love

I am almost positive I've seen both of the movies in question, but am thick.  Will you please drop a few more hints, Perfessor?

There are several hints in the Games and Jokes section for the seafood and also iirc 3 different pictures on the forum in general.
We both actually joked about the topic of the film before I got my hands on it (maybe even before I heard of it, the general theme came up independently).

Maybe you should wiki under the most specific word in the serial killer question (I checked, it's mentioned there)

Release the Squilla!

Oh! "The Calamari Wrestler"?

Correct
#2, Opsanus Tau, The Calamari Wrestler
Review for that film will be posted in the Humbleodeon

Just one question left (before the already prepared next quiz)
10. What actor defeated a serial killer in a drive-in cinema that at the same time ran a movie starring him?
As I have said, easy to wiki.

not the right answer because the villain is not really a serial killer but does that not happen sort of in The Last Action Hero?

is it boris karloff in targets?

10: Kolchak: The Nighstalker (made for TV movie and series also) ?

Oh , how I loved that Darren McGavin , the new later series was a disappointing as well as short lived .

Goat got it
#10, Boris Karloff in (Moving) Targets
He plays an old-school horror actor in that. His last movie is played at the drive-in. The serial killer hides behind the screen and shoots people in their cars (perfect setting because nobody notices for quite some time). When Karloff in the end confronts the guy, the killer can't decide where to shoot for a critical moment because on the screen Karloff is also approaching.
-----------------------------------

End results
Bruder Cuzzen: 7
Goat: 6
Opsanus Tau: 6
Beagle: 1
Given alternative and independent correct answers, I declare that a tie for the first trio
