Pulp Fiction was a whole new way of filmmaking and launched Tarantino's career pretty much.
Never seen Dog Day Afternoon or 12 Monkeys so can't comment on those

Terminator was good, I always liked the gritty feel and the story and if this were a Top 100 of Sci-Fi films, it would be in there, but Top 100 from all genre's, I can't do.
Saving Private Ryan was good for the first 20 minutes in showing what combat is like, but after that I don't feel it offered anything. Come And See or Das Boot were far better War movies. Kubrick's Paths Of Glory & Full Metal Jacket gave us something completely different and I would pick both over Saving Private Ryan.
Pulp Fiction definitely launched Tarantino into the limelight and it was indeed a different style of film, but it doesn't stand as a "great" film to me. Tarantino has done far better and there are plenty of other films that pushed into new boundaries that stand out better as films in my mind.
