I'd like to start a list of South Seas/Polynesian movies. Preferably vintage ones. The movies do not necessarily have to have tikis in them, they just have to evoke that good old tropic island/paradise/south seas vibe. Two that immediately come to mind are the 1937 version of The Hurricane, and Aloma of the South Seas. (Both with Dorothy Lamour and Jon Hall) Anyone know of any others to add?

My original intention was to have a "list" of South Seas style movies that we could all reference and search for on DVD or tape. I'd like to keep this a list of vintage movies that were set in the Pacific islands (not just a movie with a tiki in it somewhere). Here is a partial list I have come up with so far. (Haven't seen all of them, myself.) Please feel free to add more. On The Isle Of Samoa Cobra Woman White Savage Hurricane Hell Ship Mutiny Aloma Of The South Seas Forbidden Island (with Martin Denny) Pearl of the South Pacific The Jungle Princess Her Jungle Love Typhoon Beyond the Blue Horizon Rainbow Island Donovan’s Reef South of Pago Pago The Tuttles of Tahiti Hurricane Island Voodoo Island Bird of Paradise She Gods of Shark Reef

You MUST see it. I grew up with the soundtrack LP I got at a cut-out sale for 50 cents. It's an EXPENSIVE item on ebay these days. But, it was so COOL to finally see the film...stupid story with HOT 1970s Tahitian scenery.
