Everyone who's seen the original Die Hard loves it, knows it's the best of the franchise, and ranks it first.

Now, the third one, with a Vengeance, is terrific too. It comes real close to the first one and should easily be the second-best of the franchise. But some people rank it above the first one—and that's okay.

Apparently, there's a fifth one, whose existence nobody wants to talk about or even think about.

BUT...

The real question is...

Die Hard 2: Die Harder vs. Live Free or Die Hard—which one takes third place? You could make a case for either, honestly.

Personally, I like them both, but I'm gonna settle on Die Hard 2 for third place. I mean, do you really think it's okay to rank a rated-R action movie from the '90s below a PG-13 one from the mid-2000s? Nah, come on.
