FYC, I would consider mixing it up. After all, what makes one a Lee-gend can be subjective. While STARMeter can be a flavor of the day metric, it can indicate some staying power and enduring influence. I am pretty sure everyone on your list is in the Top 5000, my vote Ang Lee just squeeks in  at 4,918 on the STARmeter. I definitely would include Christopher Lee over Brandon Lee, in my opinion, if committed to a top ten. Bruce Lee also belongs on the legends list, as he is one of Hollywood's The Top-Earning Dead Celebrities.

Ang Lee (I) (Director, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000))
STARmeter 4,918

Brandon Lee (I) (Actor, The Crow (1994))
 STARmeter 4,072

Lee Van Cleef (Actor, Escape from New York (1981))
STARmeter 4,020


I think these ten also qualify by being Lee-gendary, each in their own way by carving out their own claims to fame or specialty. I would give them some consideration.

Lee Pace (I) (Actor, Guardians of the Galaxy (2014))
STARmeter 419

Abbey Lee (Actress, Mad Max: Fury Road (2015))
STARmeter 488

Leelee Sobieski (Actress, 88 Minutes (2007))
STARmeter 1,083

Lee Majors (I) (Actor, The Six Million Dollar Man (1974))
STARmeter 1,479

Christopher Lee (I) (Actor, Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002))
STARmeter 1,649

Jonny Lee Miller (Actor, Mindhunters (2004))
STARmeter 1,975

Lauren Lee Smith (Actress, Trick 'r Treat (2007))
STARmeter 2,049

Jason Lee (I) (Actor, Almost Famous (2000))
STARmeter 2,458

R. Lee Ermey (Actor, Full Metal Jacket (1987))
STARmeter 2,993

Lee J. Cobb (Actor, 12 Angry Men (1957))
STARmeter 3,892

I knew I forgot some big ones, I was in such despair that I had added "Leigh" and "Li" named characters, that's how unsatisfying the list was. I can't believe I forgot Christopher Lee and Lee J. Cobb.

I'll add all your suggestions and try to find a "respectful" order.

Thanks!

Certainly, your call on inclusions and exclusions. My point is the same as yours, you can be Lee-gendary for a variety of reasons, some you would be proud of and other you wouldn't. I differ in that I would place Johnny Lee Miller above both Brandon Lee and Lee Van Cleef. I would say they all fall into a grey area and are judgment calls to some degree.

Lee Daniels?

Sure, Lee Daniels. 

And for some reason, reading your answer reminded me of Lee Grant.

I try not to let my personal judgment interfere with the listing, the order doesn't mean much one you get past the Top 5 or Top 10 but I thought the words "legend" or "legacy" would instinctively disqualify anyone from the younger generations.

Another grey area option, Bernard Lee (I) (1908–1981). He was the original 'M' of the Bond franchise for the first two decades.

Lee trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art,[4] before making his professional stage debut in 1924.[5][6] He is perhaps best known for playing M in the first eleven Eon-produced James Bond films.[2][3] Lee appeared on stage and television dramatisations, as well as in more than 100 films.[10]
