Movies are a lot like real life, only with much better looking people who have much nicer things. And, just like in reality, film characters spend a lot of time trying to figure out women.

We've compiled a list of 10 insightful movie quotes pertaining to sex and relationships in hopes they will help us unlock the mysteries of the opposite sex. It's an ambitious endeavor, but we can say with certainty that such an analysis is a better use for popular movie lines than bludgeoning our friends' ears into submission by mindlessly repeating them over and over again, which is the fate good movie quotes often suffer.
