Which version? I’ve seen the first one a couple times, and the second one probably 10 times, and I can’t picture that scene.
I just finished watching Live Free or Die Hard, which definitely has a shooting star in it. Bruce Willis certainly a gun in his hand half the time.
A shooting star in a night time scene has become a movie cliche. Its not so much a signature of any particular director, but more an artifact of the ned to have “action” on screen.
Most scenes involving the night sky are big and panoramic, with the characters occupying a minor part of the scene, plus its dark.
The director looks at it, and realises he has the visual equivelent of “dead air” and so intructs the SFX dept to insert a shooting star, so that there is some action on the screen
plus it adds atmosphere,
plus it makes the scene seem more romantic… (if that differs from atmosphere…
just my take on it…
perhaps its time for another “Movie chlich`e” thread…

The '50s version. I think the star itself is not shown, but Sandra Dee coos, “Oh, a shooting staaaaar!” and she and another character stare up to the sky for a whole minute, as if shooting stars aren’t blink-and-you-miss-it.
Also, I think the shooting star in Titanic was in a deleted scene.
I think there was an episode of The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh with this in it.
I know there was one in Temple of Doom, but I don’t think that there was one in any other Indiana Jones movie.
Yup. Right after, actually, just when Kermit finishes arguing with himself in the desert. I seem to recall one in Muppet Treasure Island, too, but I can’t remember exactly where.
John Travolta sees weird lights in the sky and develops super intelligence (or Scientology, or something). 
“Fortune and Glory, kid. Fortune and Glory.”
Two mentions of The Muppet Movie, but nobody remembers the The Muppet Show episode where Guy Smiley sees one?
Guy (singing):
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket, never let it fade away.
[He catches a falling star and puts it in his pocket.]
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket, save it for a rainy day.
[Smoke starts coming from his pocket.]
For love may come and tap you on the shoulder----
[Scooter comes and taps Guy’s shoulder.]
Scooter:Hey Guy! Your pants are on fire!
[Guy runs screaming from the stage.]
ETA: Night of the Shooting Stars.
It is the thing that first pops out of my mouth whenever I see a shooting star.
Gettysburg.
“October Sky”? (It’s actually Sputnik, not a meteor…)
Lilo n Stitch? (except the falling star is not really a star)
Creepshow
Ewwwww… Meteor shit!
Moonwalker, starring Micheal Jackson? 
IIRC, both IQ (Tim Robbins, Meg Ryan, and Walter Matthau as Albert Einstein) and Roxanne (Steve Martin as Cyrano) have scenes in which the main characters watch “comets” visibly move across the sky (which real comets usually don’t), kind of like slow shooting stars.
In “About Schmidt”, Jack Nicholson’s character asks his dead wife for a sign, IIRC, and looks up to see a shooting star. I’ll bet everybody in the theatre saw that one coming.
At the end of “Roxanne”, I seem to remember a shooting star appearing as the credits roll, but none of the characters see it, as they’re all off-camera.
I just watched Spiderman 3 last night, there is a scene there where Peter and MJ are watching shooting stars.
