Who is the greatest action film director of all time?

This thread is to discuss and debate who is the greatest director of action films of all time. So, without furher adieu, I'll list those who come most quickly to mind, my most favorite, and a few examples of their finest work.

James Cameron -
  • The Terminator
    The Terminator 2
    Aliens

John McTiernan -
  • Predator
    Die Hard
    The Hunt For Red October

Sergio Leone -
  • A Fistful Of Dollars
    The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly
    Once Upon A Time In The West

Ridley Scott -
  • Alien
    Blade Runner
    Black Hawk Down

Tony Scott -
  • Top Gun
    True Romance
    Crimson Tide

Michael Bay -
  • The Rock
    Bad Boys 2
    Armageddon

Richard Donner -
  • Superman
    Lethal Weapon
    Lethal Weapon 2

Yimou Zhang -
  • Hero
    House Of Flying Daggers

Stephen Sommers -
  • Deep Rising
    The Mummy
    Van Helsing

The Wachowski brothers -
  • The Matrix
    The Matrix Reloaded
    The Matrix Revolutions

Robert Rodriguez -
  • Desperado
    From Dusk Till Dawn
    Sin City

Guillermo del Toro -
  • Cronos
    Blade 2
    Hellboy

Anyway, those are the ones I can think of right now. As for which one I'd say is best, I'll reserve comment for the moment.

Enjoy...
