What do the first and last lines of a Movie reveal?
You can check it out yourself at a new site, created by ATT Internet Services, where they connect the first and last lines with brief animations that mirror the action and themes of the films:

One example that reflects the arc of the character is from The Princess Bride.
The first lines:
"Hi, honey."
"Hi, Mom.
"You feeling any better?" "
"A little bit."
"Guess what? Grandfather's here."
"Mom, can't you tell him that I'm sick?"
The last lines:
"Grandpa...maybe you could come over...and read it again to me tomorrow."
"As you wish."
It might inspire you to consider carefully what you want the first and last lines to be if you're Writing a screenplay.
