Those two years or one full year or however you want to view it, came out with some of the best flicks Hollywood has ever churned out. If you want to turn the clock back one more year, you could include Star Wars, but - hey! - fuck Star Wars.
I often imagine how awesome it would be to get in a time machine, preferably a DeLorean, and see all the great films of that era during their initial theatrical run.
I also think that span marked a real turning point for cinema in general, with new talent and technology being used in new, interesting ways that culminated into what I can only call The Silver Age of cinema in the 1980s.
I always thought we'd never see quality output from movie industry like we got during the 80s, which pretty much died out by 1992, but there's been a resurgence in quality flicks in the past several years thanks to younger guys using technology overused by the older guys to good use to create new cinematic experiences.
