Because it was an incredibly important movie story-wise and people just wanted to see what Anakin's turn to the dark side was like. Also because it sort of got a reputation for being the "good" one among the prequels, or at least the most decent one.

 

Today, I enjoy the phantom menace a lot. Despite Jar Jar Binks and Mithoclorians (dont know how to write it). Hey you get Liam Neeson as a Jedi... I could watch a movie with him as a jedi just farting for 2 hours and it would still be good.

I heard there is a fan edit on the internet where they almost exclude Jar Jar from the movie and exclude 100% of the references to Mithoclorians. 

They erase around 15 minutes of the movie, so it clocks around 2 hours. Need to watch it.
