Do you like the Sting? Have you seen it more than once?

I had the soundtrack long before I watched the movie, it took me until the early 1980's to actually watch the movie and it was love at first sight.

Still I have wondered how much the sting actually cost, and if it in money actually payed off economically, or was it just about getting even...

Remember at around that time in the 1980's watching The Sting II, lesser said about that movie the better.
