I know someone who only saw the Star Wars films "in reverse" (or in Lucas' mind, the correct order). That is they saw Ep1 through 3 at the theatre and then watched New Hope through Return of the Jedi on DVD. That would be an interesting experience!

I remember hearing about something called "The Machete Order" wherein you watch IV, then V, then II, then III, then finish with VI. I guess now you could follow onto the sequels.
The idea is after you find out about Darth Vader's true identity, you flash back and watch that downfall before ending triumphantly (ah, those triumphant Ewoks.) It totally cuts out Phantom Menace with the valid point that it's totally self contained and besides introducing a few characters, plot-wise has pretty much nothing of consequence.
