9 of the best moments in movie history

Homemovies & tv

A lot can be done in a minute or two. Need proof, then just look at these epic movie scenes.

Dairygold's new Make a Minute campaign is all about ensuring we have more time for the good stuff. For instance, did you know that on average we spend 120 minutes every day looking at a TV screen... that being said, we doubt too many of those minutes are spent looking at anything as amazing as these 9 classic movie moments.

"No, I am your father" - Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back

Isn't it funny that one of the most famous great moments in film is also one of the most misquoted? Although Vader never says "Luke, I am your father", this is still one of the most recognised and wonderful scenes in the history of film. https://youtu.be/g1fIH6GMIJg Clip via Ellie F

Andy escapes - The Shawshank Redemption

Poor ol' Andy escaping from Shawshank is one of the most satisfying moments in movie history. All those years, all that dirt and all that digging almost seem worth it for the wrongly convicted character. Almost. https://youtu.be/Z7MMTmVZcVs

The whisper - Lost in Translation

Strangely, giving the characters the privacy of the whisper seemed like the perfect ending to this masterpiece from Sophia Coppola. One of the subtlest, yet finest, moments in the history of cinema. sssoos

Thumbs up - Terminator 2: Judgement Day

Yeah, we never thought we'd cry at a computer being shut down either, but this just gets us. Brilliant! https://youtu.be/LAPo1dgrHms Clip via Thats All Folkers

Dancing scene - Pulp Fiction

Tarantino's movies are filled with perfect minutes, but this one still manages to stick out above the rest. Immense movie making and a moment that is nothing short of unforgettable. https://youtu.be/Ik-RsDGPI5Y Clip via François-Xavier

You're going to need a bigger boat - Jaws

And to think that this bit of dialogue was improvised; what a wonderful moment. https://youtu.be/2I91DJZKRxs Clip via Movieclips

You talkin' to me - Taxi Driver

This is the same actor who created very different types of moments in last year's Dirty Grandpa... Robert, you are better than that! https://youtu.be/-QWL-FwX4t4 Clip via Movieclips

Training montage - Rocky

For motivational purposes only, this has to make the list. If the Rocky training montage doesn't inspire you to make a moment for the good stuff, then nothing will. https://youtu.be/Hj0jzepk0WA Clip via Boxing Unlimited Dairygold want to give you the minute of a lifetime.
