Stand by Me (1986)

The Writer (Richard Dreyfuss) - The final line of this film speaks directly to its themes. Delivered by The Writer, the statement beautifully encapsulates the coming-of-age message of the story and captures the naive, innocent essence of childhood friendship. The line is, "I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was 12. Jesus, does anyone?" To answer the question, probably not.
