Crunches are the best way to help rid belly fat. Not only should you do traditional crunches, but you should also target your lower abs and oblique's, which can be achieved through side crunches and bicycles. http://hubpages.com/hub/Stomach_Exercises_to_Eliminate_Belly_Fat
Regularly doing cardio workouts (running, elliptical, etc.) and cutting back on carbohydrate consumption will do more for your abs than a million sit-ups and crunches.
Reverse crunches are the opposite of a crunch. You lie on your back and bring your legs up to your chest in repeated motions while keeping your arms on the ground.
Crunches build muscles while situps build abdominal muscles. Each workout is important based on individual needs.
Strangely enough, strengthening your abdomen by performing crunches also strengthens your back.
Cut bread, wheat, pastas sugar and starch from your diet. Do more planks and core exercises. strengthen your lower back muscles and do more leg lifts instead of regular crunches.
The question of the best ab excerise is highly debated. You will find sites that claim ONLY crunches will do and sites that claim ONLY full situps will do. In my experience they're about the same but crunches are less stressful for the back...remember reverse crunches are just as effective and you may find them easier.
