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.

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.
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.
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!

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.

You’re going to need a bigger boat – Jaws
And to think that this bit of dialogue was improvised; what a wonderful moment.

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!

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.
