I was looking at Harrison Ford's filmography recently and I saw that he had a pretty long list of consecutive great or high-grossing movies:

The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
Blade Runner (1982)
Return of the Jedi (1983)
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)
Witness (1985)
The Mosquito Coast (1986)
Frantic (1988)
Working Girl (1988)
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)
Presumed Innocent (1990)
Regarding Henry (1991)
Patriot Games (1992)
The Fugitive (1993)
Clear and Present Danger (1994)

You may even make a case with Sabrina, The Devil's Own and Air Force One, but after that it seems to drop off.

Can you think of another actress/actor who's had this kind of staying power?

Although I do think his career starting falling down when the movie "Simone" came out, that movie wasn't very good IMO and it didn't sell very well in the theater. I don't think "The Recruit" did that well in the box office either.

I don't know if this string would be included in a list of consecutive great movies, although I really don't know how much they made.
