Number one being my personal favorite, here's my list.

1. The Empire Strikes Back 2. Return of the Jedi 3. The Phantom Menace 4: A New Hope 5. Attack of the Clones

It was painful for me to have to choose the order, as I love them all in one way or another.

Well, I don't find it very painful. The worst part is relegating ROTJ out of the medals, because it was not such a bad movie.

1. ANH 2. TESB 3. AOTC 4. ROTJ 5. TPM

From what I have read, the 3rd through 5th places are the same with all reviewers and only the relative merits of the top two are disputed. TESB is normally preferred because of the tighter dialogue and more pleasing Direction, but for me it is the movie which started it all which wins because had that not been so mind-bogglingly brilliant we would not be having this discussion.

I'll play too

1. A New Hope 2. The Empire Strikes Back 3. Attack of the Clones 4. The Phantom Menace 5. Return of the Jedi

A New Hope wins because it IS Star Wars, boiled down to its essential elements. It's the most elegant of the series. Empire is probably the best crafted *film* of the series, but nothing can ever top ANH. Attack of the Clones comes close to Empire, IMHO, but will have to wait 10-20 years before being eligible to knock off either of the top 2

It's a real close call between Phantom and Jedi

1- TESB 2- ANH 3- AOTC - ROTJ (ex-equo) 5- TPM

Empire has everyyhing and everything is well played ! We get to know Yoda and why we are were we are! We have a first glimpse at the Emperor....

For ROTJ, we start to see what Lucas wants .... The Ewoks... come on! That was the eighties version of Jar-Jar.... A thing to amuse the younger audience (wich I was back then) but I still remember that what impressed me more in that movie (I was about 6 or 7 yo) was the combat scene between Luke and Darth Vader becoming Anakin again... The music, the colors.... And when Luke takes out the dark helmet and we see a a weak man, full of regrets.... WOW !

Hmm. Well, here they are as they stand right now. They'll likely change in a month or two.

1. Attack of the Clones 2. Return of the Jedi (ewoks are cheesy, but I love the bridge scene and Leia strangling Jabba) 3. Empire Strikes Back 4. A New Hope 5. The Phantom Menace

5. The Phantom Menace (it had excellent under-currents and some beautiful CGI, with a fight scene to be beheld, but parts fell flat) 4. Return of the Jedi (a lot of fun to watch, admittedly, but not up to the previous two movies) 3. A New Hope (has all the energy and all the flaws of a new thing in film...still a great movie to watch) 2. Attack of the Clones (all the polish and darkness that are to be expected in this installment, its problems are no bigger than those of the other installments, and it has a visual style that has no parallel) 1. The Empire Strikes Back (the perfect middle installment, actually adding depth to a stereotypical villain and hero, and probably the best movie of its kind)

1) ANH (the original-the best) 2) ROTJ (for the Luke/Vader/Emperor scenes) 3) ESB (very close to Jedi) 4) AOTC (I loved this film-may move up) 5) TPM (A fun movie thats just not as good as the others)
