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

The biggest-hit category sharpens the box office contrast, especially because Tom Hanks's leading film creates the stronger single-release benchmark. From a historical perspective, the matchup leans toward Tom Hanks and remains tied to the selected ranking season.
