I don't see how Die Hard 2 has made it this far or this highly rated. It's a pretty average movie. The original is obviously a classic and the third one is great. The second, not so much.

[Jean]

I love Die Hard 2, but Braveheart is one of my favorite films ever... can't vote against Scent of a Woman, either...

[mae]

Need more love for Falling Down. It's an excellent film.

[St. Troy]

Need more love for Falling Down. It's an excellent film.

+1

[RUBE]

I love the Die Hard movies but 2 is easily the weakest and most forgettable.

I love the Die Hard movies but 2 is easily the weakest and most forgettable.

I have always felt that each Die Hard move was worse then its predecessor, so for me DH2 is the 2nd best. So I have been voting for DH2, but not DH3 so far.

[mae]

Falling Down is just one vote back from tying for second :panic:

[Still Servant]

Come on! There has to be at least one more vote around here for Falling Down.

[Heather19]

Sorry guys I still haven't seen it yet. I feel bad, because my boyfriend has been telling me for years now that I need to watch that movie.

The poll has closed. The following two titles are moving on to the next round:


Braveheart (78.26%)
Die Hard 2 (47.83%)


And the following two titles have been eliminated:


Falling Down (43.48%)
Scent of a Woman (13.04%)

[Still Servant]

I love the Die Hard movies but 2 is easily the weakest and most forgettable.

To clarify, you're only considering Die Hard 1-3, correct?

[mae]

There were more than three Die Hard movies? :shrug:

But yes, DH2 is definitely weaker than 1 or 3 and should not have moved on over Falling Down, but oh well. You can't have breakfast if it's lunchtime I guess.
