The six films he released from 1992 to 1995, his imperial phase, may have satisfied this requirement in very different ways, but every one of them – A League of Their Own, Sleepless in Seattle, Philadelphia, Forrest Gump, Apollo 13, and Toy Story – was a critical and commercial triumph; for Philadelphia and Forrest Gump, he won back-to-back Best Actor Academy Awards. [qh]
