The most memorable movie lines require three things: They must sound like something a real person (or at least the character uttering them) would, you know, actually say; they must be smarter, funnier and snappier than what a real person would actually say (this sounds like it would contradict the first point, but it doesn't); and they must have a great actor to give them a great delivery. It's a delicate balance, and one that takes both skill -- and a tiny bit of luck -- to achieve.

This year was packed with plenty of ear-pleasing, intensely quotable movie quotes, ranging from the highbrow ("The Social Network" and "True Grit") to the not-so-highbrow ("The Other Guys" and "Machete"). Some movies -- here's looking at you, "Social Network" -- were so full of amazing one-liners and witty exchanges that I could have made a top 10 list just drawing from them. But in the interest of fairness, I'll stick to one awesome line per movie. Below, take a look at my picks for the 10 best movie quotes of 2010, then hit the comments to share your own favorites!

10. "Machete don't text." -- machete-wielding but cell phone-averse Machete (Danny Trejo) in "Machete"

9. "You used to be much more...'muchier.' You've lost your muchness." -- The Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp) commenting on Alice's (Mia Wasikowska) loss of imagination in "Alice in Wonderland"

8. "You mustn't be afraid to dream bigger, darling." -- Eames (Tom Hardy), pulling out a gigantic machine gun that dwarfs Arthur's (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) tiny firearm -- within a dream, of course -- in "Inception"

7. "I want one." -- Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), echoing moviegoers' sentiments exactly, when he's first introduced to Natalie Rushman/Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow/Scarlett Johansson in "Iron Man 2"

6. "That's so funny! My dad would never do that, he loved me!" -- Ethan Tremblay (Zach Galifianakis) responding to Peter Highman's (Robert Downey Jr.) heart-wrenching story about how his dad abandoned him when he was a kid, in "Due Date"

5. "You're really ruining my Zen thing, man." -- Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), apparently channeling his "Big Lebowski" alter-ego Dude, in "Tron: Legacy"

4. "I thought you were gonna say the sun was in your eyes... that is to say, your eye." -- LaBoeuf (Matt Damon) to one-eyed Rooster Cogburn after Cogburn tries -- and failed -- to shoot a glass bottle, in "True Grit"

3. "You just contact the mayor's office. He has a special signal he shines in the sky; it's in the shape of a giant c***." -- Hit Girl (Chloe Moretz) on how Dave Lizewski/Kick-Ass can contact her in "Kick-Ass"

2. "This meal is terrible... it tastes like roasted dog asshole. I asked myself, 'Who would slow roast a dog's asshole and feed it to me?' You would." -- Allen Gamble (Will Ferrell) to his sorely unappreciated wife Sheila (Eva Mendes) in "The Other Guys"

1. "You are probably going to be a very successful computer person. But you're going to go through life thinking that girls don't like you because you're a nerd. And I want you to know, from the bottom of my heart, that that won't be true. It'll be because you're an asshole. " -- Erica Albright (Rooney Mara) not pulling any punches while breaking up with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg), in "The Social Network"
