Despite it's ropey sets I quite enjoyed Count Dracula. It isn't a masterpiece and extremely low-key but has an atmospheric feel to it. The Bloody Judge (another Lee film) is also enjoyable and well acted. I even found parts of Bloody Moon entertaining (sort of) and Oasis Of The Zombies is so ridiculous it's almost bearable (unlike the abysmal Devil Hunter).

That's about it really. The sexual violence in his movies just becomes tacky and boring for me when repeated in nearly every film.
