You're right that TPM is different from the other SW movies, but after several viewings I came to appreciate it, and definitely don't feel that it's a bad movie... I don't know, the list is definitely very close together and each time you ask me it'd probably be different (kind of like the order of my 'top 10 favorite pc games' list... :))...
These things I think are the concretes... RotJ is best. ESB is second. RotS is better than AotC. ... umm, that's about it... ask me several times and I'll come up with several variations that follow those three guidelines. :)
Like, I know that ANH is great, but it feels simpler (less complex) than the later films, and for that I often rank it lower... it's more of a one-off adventure as opposed to a deeper film like the others often are (not that it isn't deep, but that it seems simpler than the later films...). So I well might rank it below several of the PT films, and perhaps even in last... but it's hard to say.
