A landing is just a very controlled crash that you walk away from. :)

Good Landing: Everybody walks away.

Great Landing: They get to re-use the aircraft.

Lots of variations in landing or crashing though.

Perfect landing, so-so landing, rough landing, landing so hard you pop tires or lose the nose gear, landings where you clip something and damage the plane but no one gets hurt.

Conversely a controlled crash landing sliding on the belly, or with an unlocked landing gear down, to a runway overrun crash, to a crash on water safely thru total destruction, to a crash that breaks up the airplane that people survive, to a crash where its just a huge fireball and no one survives.

I've heard it said that a carrier landing is the closest thing there is to a crash landing.
