exploitation movies


I have been a lifelong fan of horror and lately have come to appreciate the exploitation sub-genre. I have been hunting down and purchasing as many exploitation films as I am able to find. My list is rather short and perhaps even amateurish, but I am new to the genre. As it currently stands my list of exploitation films includes:
I Spit on Your Grave
Cannibal Holocaust
Last House on the Left
Thriller: A Cruel Picture
NEKromantik
Men Behind the Sun
The Hills Have Eyes (original) (this is a dubious classification but it does employ rape and extreme violence so I included it)

Like I said my list is rather short and some like the Hills Have Eyes might not even count. Would Texas Chainsaw Massacre count? I could see how some would include it and others wouldn't. I have been trying to find other movies that fit into the genre. Salo I have all but given up on. I am hoping Cannibal Ferox gets re-released sometime this year (I heard rumors from Grindhouse Releasing that this was a possibility). The August Underground movies, etc... I have not been able to locate. So does anyone have any suggestions for good exploitation films from the 70's/80's that I could hunt down and watch. I know there are similar threads all over these boards but I have had trouble tracking them down for some reason. Thanks for the help.

Well you've seen some of the best(worst?). Others you could try are:

House on the Edge of the Park
Ginuea Pig 1: Devils experiment (Asian)
Ginuea Pig 2: Flowers of Flesh & Blood. (Asian)
SS Hell Camp
The Untold Story (Asian)
Eboyla Syndrome (Asian)
Red to Kill (Asian)
Aftermath
Island of Death

Obviously there is many more but those should all be easy enough to get you hands on.
