I think the date is off by about 26 years for Mariah Carey’s release

Merry Christmas to you all and the WatchMojo family

I love The Sting. Recently got the steel book Blu-ray and a poster.

The Christmas Truce of 1914 during World War 1 when British and German soldiers came together hanged out and exchanged gifts and after Christmas they went back to killing each other.

Happy Holidays!

The truce was in World War I.

[kenkasunick]

Yay! I got yesterdays question right! It was a rather easy one! Todays question is easy too! The answer is World War One!

The Sting was released on Christmas Day 1973?

[Arcee]

The Sting had shit all to do with Christmas!

[mlggamer]

Oh Tombstone is a western? So I didn't know that. All I Want For Christmas Is You, yeah a classic. Also there was a Christmas Truce during a war? I'm going to take a wild guess here and say World War I

[chrisengelke]

Tombstone was a western? I thought it was an Italian cooking show!

[tabcat]

Are you saying Tombstone is _not_ a movie about pizza?

[lidlett]

One of the best movies ever made. Back when films had to rely upon good writing, good directing, and great acting to make money. Now it's stupid plots, poor dialog and lots of flashy effects

Yeah the Mariah song was in 1994... didn't get as popular back then because it was just another cash-grab Christmas album by an artist. No idea why it's so popular now.
..OK, #1 these years for some strange reason; question still stands. Why this one? Why so forcefully insistent? Nobody likes or cares for Christmas albums as much as the real ones.
