I'd go with

Darjeeling Limited
As peak Anderson for me, and his best run of three... in an almost flawless career, really. I love Moonrise Kingdom, but those three films were landmark films of my youth, and hes yet to surpass that run imo.
Since he died last week, how about Peter Bogdanovich:
Last Picture Show
What's Up Doc?
Paper Moon

It looks like they are 3 in a row as I wouldn’t count The Greatest Story Ever Told as Lean was an uncredited co-director. I didn’t realize those three were consecutive movies. Pretty impressive run!

Oh, I had thought about his movies, but then did a cursory glance at imdb and saw that in his director credits.

Aronofsky made 5 great movies before he somehow thought Noah was a good idea.

John McTiernan made Predator, Die Hard, and The Hunt for Red October consecutively between 1987 and 1990.

Lifetime Suspension

Hayao Miyazaki

Spirited Away

I think HMC is a bit of a step back from the other two, but it's still one of his more beloved movies.
