In a four year span this genius gave us:
Has anyone ever cranked out three, completely unrelated classics in 4 years?

In a similar time span, Nolan directed The Prestige, The Dark Knight, and Inception.

Depends, do you consider Hook to be a classic?
Because Spielberg came back two years after that with Jurassic Park and Schindler's List.

If you don't count a one off, Spielberg had runs of
Jaws
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Raiders of the Lost Ark
ET
This run was broken in the middle by 1941. He also had a run of:
Jurassic Park
Schindler's List
Amistad
Saving Private Ryan
The Lost World was the meh effort in the middle.

vengeance is a far cry from the first two.

I can understand if you don't put it in the same category as those, but saying it's "yikes" is dumb. Vengeance was a very good to even great movie.

It was okay. The last great film he directed was Last Action Hero.

I wouldn't consider The Insider a classic and those three were over a seven year period.

Has anyone ever released one stone cold classic bookended by two pretty good movies? Yes. lots of people.

Rob Reiner directed these 5 movies in a 6 year span:
Stand By Me
The Princess Bride
When Harry Met Sally
Misery
A Few Good Men
Didn't make anything close to as good as any of those over the next 25 years.

Taylor Sheridan’s writer/director run is wildly impressive
