I've been thinking of doing a tiki movie list for sometime, usualy after catching a small tiki scene in late night movie. But the real problem is what makes a tiki movie because the university of hawaii have a "Moving Images of the Pacific Islands ON-LINE DATABASE" at http://www.hawaii.edu/oceanic/film/graphics.html
but this is mostly concerned with movies made in the pacific, where as I'd like a list of movies that feature tiki as a pop-polynesian.
A list like in "CLUCK:THE TRUE STORY OF THE CHICKENS IN THE CINEMA by Jon-Stephen Fink & Mieke van der Linden
Published by Virgin. 1981" would be best with a tiki rating of one for a film with a scene set in a tiki bar or a line of dialouge about tiki bars e.g. "boogie nights" because the porn director has tiki bar by his pool. Where as "Rapa Nui" would score a possible five.
