The third one was the only reason I've revisited original trilogy after years of ignoring it. I still consider it to be best SW movie to date.

I agree in terms of competence and production values. Attack of the Clones (for me) is the most entertaining though, on a so-bad-it's-funny sorta level. I can't stand the third one.
This may be an increasingly unpopular opinion, I suppose, but I’ve long since given up hope on any of these movies. PM is probably the most competent, but it is wholly unnecessary to the overall story being told in the prequels IMO. People complain—rightly—about The Hobbit movies being stretched out too much, but really there’s only one movie’s worth of story in these prequels. It’s a story I don’t find much fault with from 30k feet. I made my own version of the prequels (using iMovie and my non-existent editing skills). It completely omits PM, uses only the investigation of the assassination attempt (told in the crawl) to introduce a few things. It’s a total of 30 minutes of runtime and almost completely omits Geonosis. A much tightened RotS then runs 1:30 (including credits). It wouldn’t pass muster here, and given the source material, has some issues. But it does show, IMO, that this whole story could’ve easily been told in a two hour movie.

^^ I won't disagree. It's all relative, really. I still largely consider the SW prequels to be bad films. There are just some isolated moments that shine.

Clerks is best comedy, but I don't expect anyone to agree.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Pure Luck or There's Something About Mary are all laugh-every-three-minutes chucklefests.

The first time I saw Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, there was one scene that involved a fork that had me laughing for days. No other movie had made me laugh like that. My partner thought it was stupid. She had no sense of humour. Pure Luck is the same kind of movie. When he gets stung by the bee...Pure comic genius.

There's Something About Mary is a true comedic masterpiece. There are more laughs in that movie...

I find most of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels forgettable but that Ruprick scene is an all-timer!

Ninja Turtles 3 isn't THAT bad, and I enjoyed it more than Secret Of The Ooze.
