I respect everyone's opion here, but for me, personally, I see little to no redeemable value for AotC or RotS as basic movies. In other words, they are only liked by people to any degree because they are in the Star Wars universe. If they weren't, they would have failed at the box office. Even TPM would have had a tough time making a profit in my mind, despite being the only movie of the PT that can stand as a movie on its own.

I just look at 1-3 as just more Star Wars fan films, sort of like the ones on Youtube, except with a bigger budget.

That's probably the healthiest way to regard the PT.
