Some of them are entertaining in an exploitative way - thas a pretty good reason to watch. I thought Africa Addio was pretty good (though I'm not mad on animal killing) and The Killing of America is an excellent mondo film.
I'm not much of a fan of the newer post FOD ones. I miss the condecending narrator trying to educate us about native cultures etc.
Jacopetti & Prosperi's films are an interesting bunch (these are the 2 that Deodata was having a poke at in Cannibal Holocaust) - go knows what they were thinking when they made 'Farewell Uncle Tom'.
If anyone is interested 'The Godfathers of Mondo' is really worth watching (more so in many ways than the actual films).

Oh okay that makes sense. I've never actually watched them. I still dont really see the appeal.
