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 Tom Hanks the larger theatrical footprint. From a historical perspective, the matchup leans toward Tom Hanks and remains tied to the selected ranking season.
