Close.  7 to 10.  1984 to 1987 which produced iconic movies like Aliens, 
The Fly, Ghostbusters, Beverly Hills Cop I and II, Temple of Doom, Back 
to the Future, Gremlins, Karate Kid I and II, Star Trek IV, The 
Neverending Story, Return to Oz, The Princess Bride, Transformers: The 
Movie and so much more!  40 years later these movies are still talked 
about and loved.  Being a kid in the 80s will never be touched when it 
comes to the movie going experience!
