Here's some more additions:

A Guide for the Married Man (1967) starring Walter Matthau, is an AWESOME funny 60's sex-comedy with an all-star cast- it just came out on DVD, so go rent it at Netflix!!

anyway, in the film, Walter is trying to cheat on his wife and he takes his date to a seedy "hideaway" club that is some African/Tiki/Savage themed go-go bar with masks on the wall, leopard print booths and features a "native" go-go dancer- a great scene. The rest of the movie has that modernist/tiki vibe as well- there may be another tiki cameo in there somewhere

Paradise Hawaiian Style (Elvis) of course.. there's also another Elvis film where he gets in a bar brawl at some tiki joint, but I can't remember the name, but the scene is good. I think there was a part where a guy ducks a punch and the puncher lands his fist on a tiki instead

The Endless Summer has a tiki scene- a part where the boys go to Hawaii and some really cool looking 60's style tikis take center stage.

Rikki Tikki Tavi, the animated kid's film, doesnt have any tikis per se, but has instead "jungle buddha exotica" elements complete with a tropical creepy vibe- my kid loves that movie

DogTown and Z-boys has Tony Alva being interviewed in front of a backyard tiki.
