I suspect it's one of those things that as time goes on, and we get further away from New Hollywood, any of those era of filmmakers that aren't still alive or working aren't thought about much by younger folks. Some folks probably only know Marty because of that Marvel quote from a few years back.
Hell, Billy Wilder and James Whale are amazing directors, freaks like us know them. General movie appreciators, less so.
