Below Stanley Kubrick, that's for sure. Maybe below Ridley Scott on a good day.

McTiernan
Tarantino ( an acquired taste)
Billy Wilder.
Ridley Scott

Another good one - and, although somewhat more of a producer, but Stanley Kramer was a top tier director, as well.

Alfred Hitchcock is GOAT director IMO. Him, Kurosawa and Ford would be my top 3 from that list.

Howard Hawks has to be included here...

Actually rating the people in the OP:
Martin Scorsese
Alfred Hitchcock
Akira Kurosawa
John Ford
Steven Spielberg
David Lean
D.W. Griffith
Cecil B. DeMille
If I was going to slot Kubrick, he'd go after Lean. He's a poor man's Hitchcock, and I feel like I grew out of his near anti-humanism.
Cecil B. DeMille is not that great of a director, as he sort of just distracted people with shiny objects. DW Griffith invented a lot of the technical language of film, but he did it in a film proclaiming the greatness of the Klan. So he can get bent.
Spielberg is underrated as all hell, but this list is pretty stacked. I just couldn't put him ahead of Ford.
