What are the best movies released on Christmas Day? In recent years, December 25 movie releases have become more and more popular, as millions of movie goers seek peace on Earth in quiet movie theaters, away from the hustle, bustle and crazy relatives. Yes, a Christmas Day movie is becoming a huge tradition for many. Major movies are often released around Christmas, but which ones were actually released on the holiday itself? This list includes some of the biggest films that came out on Christmas, so vote for your favorites and vote down any movies you didn't like.The tradition of major films being released on or around Christmas day really kicked into high gear in the 1990s. Prior to this, a handful of big films had December 25 release dates, but usually only if that date fell on a Friday. Still, going back a few decades, one can find some incredibly brilliant Christmas day film releases, including 'To Kill a Mockingbird' (1962), 'The Sting' (1973) and 'Empire of the Sun' (1987). Just because a film is released on Christmas Day, doesn't mean it has a holiday feel-good theme. In fact, it may be just the opposite. Perhaps distributors realize that some people are totally burned out on the whole holiday warm and fuzzy stuff by Christmas night? Films like 'Children of Men,' 'Hoffa' and 'The Godfather Part III' all came out on Christmas Day -- all decidedly non-joyous flicks.The gifts are opened, the food's been consumed and the football's been watched. What else to do? Sit in a nice, dark theater, sneak in some of the candy Santa brought you, and kick back with a great Christmas Day movie release, of course. Ho ho ho!

Celebrity Facts

This is a list of <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://www.circumstitions.com/">famous men who are not circumcised</a>. Originally the practice of ancient religions and cults, circumcision regained its popularity in the 19th century as a "cure" for masturbation. The issue is also permeated by a double standard in that female circumcision is considered a barbaric form of genital mutilation, and is even illegal within the United States.&nbsp;Ironically, while modern science tends to scoff at the medical practices of previous generations, studies from ages past are still used to support the removal of the foreskin. What famous people are uncircumcised? This list includes uncut actors and male celebrities, and photos of the men as well as data about what got them celebrity status. Today, the debate rages on, but circumcision is again falling out of favor with the practice often being equated as a form of child abuse.

It&#39;s always tragic to lose lives from natural disasters like tornadoes, but these are particularly bad - they are the worst tornadoes in history, each claiming hundreds of lives in a matter of minutes. From the most recent, current cyclones to those of the past, sadly, this list names them all. With death tolls reaching tragic proportions, these are not only the worst cyclones environmentally, they&#39;re also the deadliest.

Though tornadoes and other natural disasters do not discriminate, the deadliest tornadoes have struck the most in the Asian country of Bangladesh. Each year, the country of around 160 million people generally sees strong, violent and often deadly tornadoes. The regional topography makes this area a hotbed for twisters and unfortunately makes the country a target for some of the deadliest tornadoes in world history.&nbsp;

In fact the two deadliest tornadoes on record, which killed over 2,000 people in total, occurred in Bangladesh. The worst tornado ever, which hit Daultipur and Saturia, occurred in 1989 and claimed the lives of around 1,300 while the second deadliest was only as far back as in 1996, taking the lives of around 700 when it traveled from Madarganj to Mirzapur.

In addition to being the biggest tornados ever, these twisters caused millions of dollars in damages and injured thousands of others. Sadly, this is common among natural disasters. The same can be said for other disasters such as the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/the-worst-volcanic-eruptions-in-history/drake-bird" target="_blank">worst volcanic eruptions in history</a> and the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/the-worst-tsunamis-in-history/drake-bird" target="_blank">worst tsunamis in history</a>, among others.

A list of early Technicolor Films, with pictures where possible.  Color movies first appeared as early as 1903.  Today, most films use virtually the same processes for color.

In 1935 the Technicolor 3 step process (Process 4) was introduced and the major studios set it as the standard.  Since then, even more advanced color techniques have been invented.

Wiping out large portions of populations in the areas affected, the worst droughts and famines in history date back several centuries and chronicle some of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/worst-natural-disasters-2019/sammy-leary?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">worst natural disasters</a> on record. Droughts and famines still occur to this day, with starvation and malnutrition an unfortunate reality in many parts of the world.

Famine and droughts differ from other devastating natural disasters like the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/the-worst-earthquakes-in-history/drake-bird">worst earthquakes</a> and the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/the-worst-tornadoes-in-history/drake-bird">most destructive tornadoes</a> in the extent of suffering and loss of life.&nbsp;Tornadoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis are short-lived, while famine and drought can last years at a time. Most&nbsp;natural disasters cannot be prevented, however,&nbsp;some&nbsp;historical famines could have been. Many were due in part to <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/what-caused-great-chinese-famine/melissa-sartore" target="_blank">poor policies</a> created by local governments. For example, major famines in countries like India and the Ukraine were largely caused by&nbsp;mismanagement and the cruel policies of leaders.&nbsp;

To put things in perspective, the death toll&nbsp;from the worst famine in history greatly exceeds that of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/the-worst-earthquakes-of-the-century/drake-bird">worst earthquakes of the 21st century</a> combined. The longest famines and droughts have devastated communities, often affecting the poorest regions the worst.&nbsp;

If nothing else, this history of famine and drought has brought awareness to the ongoing issues of malnutrition and starvation. While both continue to this day, there are a growing number of &nbsp;organizations and charities working to end this unnecessary loss of human life.
