Fabulous Baker Boys
Russia House
Frankie and Johnny
Batman Returns
Love Field
Age of Innocence
Six in a row, to make up for Russia House and Frankie and Johnny being good but not great.

I think there needs to be a few rules about this. Harrison Ford had one very short scene in Apocalypse Now. The actor should have a big enough role to be listed on the official movie poster.
I agree and that sort of works both ways- I just threw in Apocalypse now as a fun add on, obviously Ford didn't really need it for his elite run
on the other hand, a few actors might get denied a good 5 run because of a throw away or cameo role they had in a less than stellar movie

Yeah, I think excluding any bit parts or cameos that show up on actors’ filmography timeline could help some create some streaks. It just takes more digging.
Harrison Ford in Apocalypse Now is weird because even though he’s a pretty minor character, when you look at imdb he’s listed near the too with all of the main cast just because he’s Harrison Ford.

You can start it with Tequila Sunrise and Dangerous Liaisons and it’s even longer
The former isn’t great but 13 year old Jiri fell in love with her in that movie
Steve Martin had a great run from Roxanne to Grand Canyon including Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, and LA story
But right there in the middle, ruining it all is My Blue Heaven

and I don't think a voice role in cartoons should count.

Where is The Ballad of Jack & Rose? It wasn’t really a great movie and came between Gangs of NY and There Will Be Blood. I mean, it was okay, but kind of an outlier and wouldn’t be a claim to fame for any actor in that movie.

Other great movies in and around that run, too:
All of Me
Three Amigos
Little Shop of Horrors
Parenthood
Father of the Bride
EDIT: I guess you could argue he had 6 in a row with:
Three Amigos
Little Shop of Horrors
Roxanne
Planes, Trains and Automobiles
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Parenthood

Agreed, Paxton had a good run but where's the 5th movie? It's hard to get 5 in a row. I looked at a few actor's IMDB page and there is always one or two stinkers that #### it up.
Yeah Denzel has a similar problem.
The Hurricane
Remember the Titans
Training Day
John Q. (I liked it).
Sandwiched between junk. Edit: oh I didn’t realize Antwone Fisher was next, I misread. Although I don’t know anything about that movie.

He did it for his wife, who directed it. Does that still count?

It’s part of his repertoire.
Honestly, a lot of these lists are 3 or 4 well-renowned movies and 1 of 2 “meh” movies that broke up the streaks. I am kind of disappointed, because I thought for sure there would be some good streaks for Jim Carrey or Dennis Hopper to be found.
