I agree with Ify that it had such an impact on cinema that it changed the way people went on to make movies. Now this impact is very much embedded in cinema today. Young filmmakers all have seen Pulp and I think mostly see it as a masterpiece with landmark setting qualities. So there isn’t a way to determine how good it will hit now in 2009 in the movie industry, since it’s still so much part of everything in that same industry. The way it hit in 1994 still echoes in 2009. That said, I don’t know anyone who has just the least interest in movies that doesn’t know pulp fiction. They all give it the recognition it deserves and not only because they look cool doing so. Pulp fiction is then also part of their movie viewing experience, no matter what movie they are seeing. If they see ‘pulp’ elements they will name them and recognize them.
A movie like pulp fiction will forever be a landmark in cinema and will, as time goes by, put into the category of important movies in the nineties.
In short: Pulp never stopped hitting cinema, from a movie-making view and a movie-watching view, it is still hitting with every movie you watch.
