An announcer on Film 4 has just led into an obscure Jimmy Cagney film ("Love Me or Leave Me") with just this claim - Cagney steals every scene.
And even ten minutes into it, you know what, he does. You can't take your eyes off him.
Which other actors manage this? Bizarrely, given some of the crap stuff he's done, I'd say Samuel L Jackson? I can remember his scenes from films where I don't even remember the rest of the film. The one about the intelligent sharks, or Jurassic Park, for example.
