I thought Revenge (2017) was a pretty cool recent exploitation flick.

"The Last House on the Left" from 1972

"A Serbian Film"

"Salo or The 120 Days of Sodom"

reply

I wouldn't consider the latter two films exploitation as they were intended to be more serious rather than fun or sensational for its own sake. Salo falls into the art house category.

reply

The Last House on the Left isn't fun or sensational either. I don't think that movies have to be enjoyable in a classical sense to be considered exploitative.

reply

Nightmares of a Damaged Brain (1981). Also known as Schizo.

Bloodsucking Freaks (1976).

Caligulia (1979).

Urotsukidōji: Legend of the Overfiend (1989). Hentai anime. Look for the uncut Japanese version.

The Concrete Jungle (1982).

Superfly (1972).

Razorback (1984).

Mothers Day (1980).

The Exterminator (1980).

I grew up hearing the term Blaxploitation in terms of films, but I'm still not exactly sure what the definition of Exploitation Film is. Seems like another way of saying Cheesy Stereotypes featuring Minorities.
Another sub-genre that comes to mind is the Women In Prison movie.
In that regard I will nominate the Eleanor Parker / Agnes Moorehead vehicle Caged.

I don't know what an "exploitation film" is either. [shrug]

That makes two of us, Cat😺 Be nice if the OP provided, you know, an explanation. The examples s/he provides are, to me, just a hodgepodge of crappy movies.

reply

It makes three of us, R_K, you, me, and Snepts! Maybe the OP thinks this is something commonly understood, but since there are at least 3 of us who don't, an explanation or definition, would certainly help.
