I'll play:

1. ANH - Without it, we wouldn't be wasting our time on this board, much less have this hobby, I'd be willing to wager.
2. TESB - The sequel that betters its predecessor
3. Tie: Rogue One & The Last Jedi - Rogue One brought the grit and reality of war to the Star Wars universe. The Last Jedi took some major risks, and I ate up every second of it.
4. ROTJ - Neatly wrapped up the OT.
5. The Phantom Menace - May of '99 was awesome. I didn't find Jar Jar to be as problematic as some. The off-sounding dialogue was more of an issue for me. (Lucas had a brain fixation - "Are you brain dead?" "Are you brainless?" "Day tink day brains so big." The flanneled one was bringing the creepy factor even in Episode I - "Many things will change once we reach the Capitol, Ani. But my caring for you won't." "I care for you, too...") And that Maul-Jinn-Kenobi duel is still the best of all the films.
6. The Force Awakens - A decent entry that brought Star Wars back to the masses.
7. Solo - Had LucasFilm hired Ron Howard right out of the gate, this may have been a stellar flick. As it is, it's still a fun little romp.
8. The Rise of Skywalker - For me, it failed to cap off the Skywalker Saga with any real sense of satisfaction. The powers that be caved to the demands of toxic fandom and the proof is in the sloppy ret-conning. It's still Star Wars and I enjoy it. Just not as much as I hoped I would have.
9. Episode III: Revenge of the Green Screen - The story we all wanted to see about Anakin's fall to the Dark Side packed some emotional punch, but it wasn't enough to rise above the wooden performance of Christenson, the awkwardly written dialog ("Then love has blinded you?" "Only a Sith deals in absolutes." "Anakin, you're breaking my heart."), and the cheesy lines that would 15 years later provide fodder for the Meme-Zsars. ("I have the high ground." "nnnnNNOOOOOOoooo...!")
10 Attack of the Clones - Sand. Anakin reciting his own personal "Stalker Manifesto." Yoda as played by Sonic the Hedgehog.
