Those are all considered "commercial" actors if you are a film snob.
The answer is probably Daniel Day Lewis

Ralph Fiennes has a solid pedigree...
From Schindlers List to Great Budhapest Hotel...M in Bond movies, and I don't care for the potter films but he's the foil...
Neeson as well...from Krull to Darkman to Schindler to Star Wars to Batman...

Steve McQueen, easily over all of the beta boys.

I'll take Hanks. Philadelphia and Cast Away are two of my favorite movies.

Great from what perspective though?
Honestly, if we're talking objectively "great" movies..it has to be De Niro. People are talking about acting, the last 10 years, etc. But if we're strictly talking great films, De Niro probably has the two best films on anyone's list - Deer Hunter and Raging Bull. Probably Goodfellas too. DiCaprio has the highest concentration of great films, but Hanks is probably second just due to sheer catalog. I'm just not, generally, a Hanks fan, mostly due to the last 10 or so years. His performances have been solid, but overall the subject matter has been so boring. I can't get excited about any of his films.
Tom Cruise's catalog is underrated, but he also simply doesn't have enough "great" films to qualify.
I'd take it another direction: If you put the lists on a wall and said throw a dart on one to watch a film, who's list would you throw a dart at?
Mine: Probably Tom Cruise. He has a wide range of films, he's super charismatic, and most of his films are incredibly rewatchable. Second would be Eastwood because there's like a 70% chance I'm hitting a western, and I can always watch a western.

Even though his films have been really shite in recent years, I've always thought Robert De Niro had the greatest filmography of any actor ever. The sheer quantity of great films he's been in is staggering. He's been in Mean Streets, Godfather Part II, Taxi Driver, Deer Hunter, Raging Bull, King of Comedy, Once Upon a Time in America, Brazil, The Mission, The Untouchables, Goodfellas, Casino, Heat, and Jackie Brown. De Niro's been in so many great films because he's willing to do anything. He spent four months in Italy to learn how to speak in Sicilian in the Godfather Part II. He gained sixty pounds to play Jake LaMotta in Raging Bull. He's willing to take a back seat and take supporting roles in films like Brazil and Jackie Brown. He went down to the South American jungles to film The Mission. De Niro didn't care about the requirements of the role or how glamorous it was. He just cared about being in great films and his filmography clearly reflects that. It's the best in cinema history.

I'd have to go Hanks, but I'm tempted to go Cruise just for Les Grossman.
