I don't know if that happens in the Hobbit movies, but in 'The Hobbit', when Thranduil sees the mithril armour Bilbo is wearing ("wrought for some young elf-prince long ago") he comments that Bilbo is "more worthy to wear the armour of elf-princes than many that have looked more comely in it". When Legolas sees Frodo wearing the armour after the incident in Moria, he recognises it as having been his own, and remembers - or even tells the Fellowship/Boromir of - his childhood in Mirkwood a couple of thousand years ago. Drawing parallels between Legolas' and Boromir's duties and responibilities would be lovely.
