METAMORPHOSIS EDITION: SEPT. 2014 CLASSIC FILM IMAGES QUIZ, Vol. 999
Greetings cinephiles, or Fellowship of Those With Far Too Much Free Time, and welcome to this month’s edition of America’s most persistent irritant not treatable with a topical ointment: the monthly Classic Film Images Quiz, brought to you by Americans For SKITTLES, defenders of the All-American breakfast candy. In this edition we examine life through the prism of that great philosopher David Bowie, who once said “Ch-ch-ch-ch Changes…” (who knows what the rest of the song says as who can understand them kids and their devil music?), which got us here at CSR thinking that indeed life is full of changes, but not half as much as that organic sourdough bread from Whole Foods which premature to its expiration date seems to be a breeding ground for the Andromeda Strain. Nevertheless, there are an abundance of films which deal with the idea of transformation both physical and psychological and this month’s quiz turns its focus to those wonderful movies in which a drastic, and we mean DRASTIC (see how serious we are by the use of capitals?), change takes place in a main character. What doesn’t change are the quiz rules: you must correctly identify the film from which all of the following twelve images were taken. The first to successfully answer correctly will receive the fabulous CSR CULTURE SHOCK AWARD, a prize so invaluable that William Devane has been rumored to be divesting his entire holdings in gold, silver and real estate to horde these coveted jewels. Good luck.

2. Ninotchka
3. Metropolis
