Note: Films released during the selected year influence the following year's rankings.

Commercial scale is another meaningful divider, with the career domestic box office measure giving Jack Nicholson the larger theatrical footprint. From a historical perspective, the matchup leans toward Jack Nicholson and remains tied to the selected ranking season.
