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

The biggest-hit category sharpens the box office contrast, especially because Robin Williams's leading film creates the stronger single-release benchmark. Based on the available ranking data, the balance stays evenly split without turning the result into a subjective judgment of acting quality.
