Hmmm, interesting (and yeah, largely unanswerable) question.
If I had to guess I'd say that Body Snatchers wasn't a 'directed by' kind of movie. I mean, how many people could tell you off the top of their head who directed The Blob?
Dirty Harry probably wasn't much different in that regard but I think in general directors got more attention in the 70s so I might lean that way.
But really, a random set of film fans would probably just say 'Don who' or ask if you were talking about the guy from Just Shoot Me so...
