Bruce Willis has graced fans with five Die Hard films so far in his career. While I believe a sixth installment will be on its way in the near future lets take a look at the previous five and see where they stand.

5. A Good Day to Die Hard

After coming off Live Free or Die Hard and getting to see John McClane's daughter I thought OK now its his son, this should be good. I was wrong and this movie confirmed I am not a big fan of Jai Courtney who played John's son Jack McClane in the film. The movie fell flat putting the future of the franchise in doubt.

4. Live Free or Die Hard

This is the fourth movie in the series and contains the biggest gap in the movie franchise from 1995's Die Hard With a Vengeance to this one in 2007. Live Free or Die Hard was a solid return to form for Bruce Willis and the franchise. The chemistry between Bruce Willis and Justin Long was entertaining to say the least. One of the downsides of this was the PG-13 rating and the muffled Yippee Ki Yay classic line at the end. I get dropping the rating to attract more viewers but give the people what they want, keep it R rated.

3. Die Hard 2: Die Harder

Personally I almost had Live Free or Die Hard over this but Die Hard 2 was a solid action movie where John is just trying to go about his business at an airport and gets mixed up in a terrorist plot. Die Hard 2 was a slight let down after the thrills of the first one but overall still a great movie.

2. Die Hard With a Vengeance

This is the third movie in the series and gives John a "partner" for the first time in Samuel L. Jackson. Die Hard With a Vengeance is a really strong movie and is definitely faster paced than the first Die Hard. Half the time I would choose this over the first movie, don't think I am alone in saying that.

1. Die Hard

The first one, the OG, the classic, Die Hard is #1 on my list. It started a franchise and made Bruce Willis a household name. Alan Rickman as the villain Hans Gruber is classic and timeless. Just reflecting back now its too bad they can't make an action movie like this anymore. Nothing against Dwayne Johnson personally but Skyscraper? Jumanji? Where have action movies like Die Hard gone to?

So let me know what you thought about my list for this franchise and check out my other posts where I rank movie franchises, everything from the MCU to Alien & Predator.
