Live Free or Die Hard

Well, they are finally doing it. They are making a Die Hard IV. The title is a pun on New Hampshire's state motto "Live free or die." (My father said that New Hampshirites were just abiding by their motto when they voted for Bush in 2000. I think he was wrong.)

Yes the movie stars Bruce Willis. The plot involves terrorists and computers and shooting and swearing and sweating. It's coming out next year. However, now is the time to resolve the eternal debate: Which is the best Die Hard movie? Die Hard has Alan Rickman has Hans Gruber, Sgt. Al Powell and Ellis, the coked-out yuppy. Die Hard 2 has John Amos, Dennis "It's time to kick ass" Franz, and a villain who is gratiously naked in the opening scene. Die Hard with a Vengence has the one and only Samuel L. "Black Guy with Black Problems" Jackson.

I report, you decide.

Which is the best Die Hard?

Die Hard II: Die Harder

Interesting and relevant link between the two series:

Colm Meaney, who is quoted in your comment, plays a terrorist in Under Siege and an aiplane pilot in Die HArd II. He was alos a regular on Star Trek DS9 as Chief Miles O'Brien as well as John Cusack's boss in Nicolas Cage's *seminal* work, Con Air.
