Well?

Personally i think the best is 3. It might be because it was the one i wathced first, and the most, when i was younger. But i just like it te most.

Overall it goes: 3, 1, 2, 4

Easily the 1st. The 4th was a PG13 joke.

I'm actually watching through all of the movies again at the moment. If I had to say, I would put them in order of release. While I loved them all, Die Hard 3 just seemed too much like a buddy cop film and Die Hard 4 was getting a bit over the top in some of the action scenes. Also I agree that Die Hard 2 was underrated.

Best Die Hard's go in this order:

1,3,4 (unrated edition),2,4(theatrical edition).

In my humble opinion of course.

Die Hard. It set the bar, had an original(ish) concept, spawned the most rip-offs (the only one of which was any good was Under Siege) ,and Bruce Willis just fit the part so well (snarky and intense in the right spots).

Die Hard 2 was also very good. The only issue I had was the flare-in-the-avgas trick. Avgas is NOT that flammable from what I can remember from my Navy days.

Die Hard With A Vengeance was okay. I could see the rip-off coming from a mile away (and it's not like Willis didn't keep saying "I know the family" every few minutes). Also, I've seen Jeremy Irons in several movies... I think he was underused in the movie.

I have yet to see Live Free Or Die Hard. People have actively warned me against it, and I've seen the part where Willis drove the car into the jet airplane... so no. :?

I'd go 1, 2, 3. Reserving judgment on 4, but I'm not really excited about it.

The first one is the only one I care about.It still holds up.

Jesus, I still remember seeing it for the first time in the movies. When he dropped the chair strapped with C4 down the elevator shaft..

Oh yeah. Welcome to the party.

The whole point of Die Hard was to parody the action genre. Only the first one stayed true to that concept.

Bruce Willis not being an action star was a major part of that parody. Ironically it turned him into one and just made the sequels flat out action flicks.

As much as I love Die Hard 1, I think Die Hard 2 was the best, followed closely by 1, then slightly more by 3 and well, Die hard 4 is hardly a die hard.

You straight-up pulled that out of your a$$. The movie was based on a book (Nothing Lasts Forever, which was a pretty good book in its own right), and was almost 100% faithful to its source material (which was not a parody of anything). Next time, at least make s*** up that sounds like the truth.

Live Free or Die Hard wasn't horrible, I even liked it more than the third film, it just gets a lot of flak (understandably and justifiably) because the film was written around a PG-13 rating, meaning a lot of the witty dialouge and violence from the previous films had to be dropped. Plus "Yippie Ki Yay Mother *GUNSHOT* was just painful. I thought the actual plot of the film was good, but really improbable. I also thought that despite the over-the-topness and restricted action do to the rating, the action was still great. I just hope that the Expendables II being PG-13 turns out to be good.

I'm a tolerant guy...but anyone who doesn't answer 1 needs to get socked in the mouth. Seriously it ain't even close. But if I had to grade them...1,3,4,2. I know the whole pg13 thing was an abomination but I thought is was still a bit better than the 2nd. Supposedly they're thinking of a fifth
