I think Fulci's Zombie made it to the Grindhouse circuit but yeh those flicks were more prominant in the home video realm. Did much of the Italian stuff make it over to the UK? I guess the Video Nasties scare buried a lot of those titles.
Fight For Your Life and Switchblade Sisters are two films I'm pretty fond of.

Yeah I scream when i hear the word 'torture punk'...It worse than the 2 others as its used to 'pigeon hole' and dimiss the horror genre by the critics..
Yeah Zombie was definally part of the drive in/Grindhouse circuit and I City of the Living Dead got a bit of a showing too..
LOL - I love FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE - I can imagine the atmosphere of a screening of that in an Inner city flea pit..
Here's some I like off the top of my head (I tryed vary the genres):
Bronx Warriors (post Apocalypic)
The Street Fighter (Kung Fu - well Karate really)
I Drink your Blood (Manson cults - rabid killers etc)
Maniac (Psycho/Slasher)
Dolemite (Blaxpoitation)
Ilsa SheWolf of the SS (Nazi Exploitation)
Cannibal Ferox (ermm...Cannibal)
The Exterminator (Vigilante)
