The Critical List
One of my all-time favorite movie quotes is from "Charade", starring Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn
PETER: Do we know each other?
REGINA: Why, do you think we're going to?
PETER: I don't know; how would I know?
REGINA: Because I already know an awful lot of people and until one of them dies I couldn't possibly meet anyone else.
PETER: Hmmm. Well, if anyone goes on the critical list, let me know. [Turns, about to leave]
REGINA: Mmmm, quitter.

No matter how many times I hear you quote this dialogue, I still love it. Something inside of me sighs.
Is the movie worth netflixing?
(and will that become a word just like google has become a verb?)
(and will it have two x's or just one? netflixing or netflixxing?)
You should definitely netflix the movie! It's one of my all-time favorite classic movies. Personally, I'd write "netflixing" with one x. I'd also wager to guess that "netflix" the verb is already included in some of the forward-thinking collections of cultural literacy. Remember kids, language is dynamic.
