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.
Well we don't have to pick just one to represent a genre or filmmaker. Saving Private Ryan showed us the emotional toil that war took on the soldiers. Not a lot of war movies do that as well as it did.
