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

The 1995 comparison presents Jane Fonda and Tom Hanks through the ranking data available at that point in time. Selected-year rank is the clearest ranking-side separator, with Tom Hanks holding the stronger position in this snapshot.

The biggest-hit category sharpens the box office contrast, especially because Tom Hanks's leading film creates the stronger single-release benchmark. Overall, the head-to-head score leans leans toward Jane Fonda, but the strongest context comes from the categories where the gap is clearest.
