How about a list of Tiki movies, preferably with links to watch for free or cheap! I did a search for an existing topic and didn't really find anything. Either good movies to watch or something to play in the background. Now in chronologic order -Terror Island 1920 - Silent movie starring Harry Houdini, famous magician and escape artist. White Shadows in the South Seas 1928 - Action/Romance - MGM’s first film with a fully prerecorded soundtrack, composed of music and sound effects, (but no dialog) including the first time the company’s mascot Leo the Lion roared at the film’s start. A black and white film but has color tone to some scenes. An alcoholic doctor on a Polynesian island, disgusted by white exploitation of the natives, finds himself marooned on a pristinely beautiful island. Sadie Thompson 1928 - Romance Adventure - Another "silent" film with music and sound effects but no dialog. Starring Gloria Swanson and Lionel Barrymore. Set in Pago Pago and filmed on Catalina Island. Tabù 1931 Rain 1932 - Romance Adventure. A "talkie" version of "Sadie Thompson" above. Also filmed of Catalina Island and starring Joan Crawford. Bird of Paradise 1932 King Kong 1933 Son of Kong 1933 - Action/Adventure. A sequel to the 1933 King Kong Mutiny on the Bounty 1935 The Hurricane 1937 - Action Adventure. A Polynesian sailor -- unjustly imprisoned after defending himself against a colonial bully -- is relentlessly persecuted by his island's martinet French governor. Directed by John Ford and starring Dorothy Lamour. Waikiki Wedding 1937 with Spanish subtitles Paradise Isle 1937 Honolulu 1939 Hawaii Calls 1938 Pardon My Sarong 1942 I Walked With a Zombie 1943 Horror/Suspense A nurse in the Caribbean resorts to voodoo to cure her patient even though she's in love with the woman's husband.

Ha! Looks like just a few.... I know that Molokai and Blackbeard are currently free on Tubi. It also has The Beachcomber and Robinson Crusoe (both 1954), plus Gilligan's Island. |

Thanks for this post! I love how you found and linked to some placed to watch them. I ended up watching the entire Cinerama film, South Seas Adventure. I recalled some discussion in the past about films. Then I found the link to this web site which has a list of "South Seas Cinema" films. |

Just FYI: the Tiki in films thread has been around forever, although it doesn't have links to the films itself, just screencaps of any Tiki-related content. There are quite a few older pre-Code Polynesian-themed films from the 1930s that can be streamed or downloaded at archive.org and they are in the public domain. |

I looked at that thread and thought it was mostly movies that just had random Tikis in the background, not movies related to Polynesia? Thanks for the archive.org tip |

Great List MadDogMike !!! It's great to have the links. I found my folder where I took screen shots of the movies that were highlighted from Tiki Oasis 2018 - South Seas Cinema. They had them separated by decade (I will put these in for now, and upload more as I have time...and if anyone wants to see the rest??) 1930:

I just watched that last week, amazing special effects! Turns out they filmed the special effects then wrote the script around them. Any yes, they got ridiculed for the title being geographically incorrect LOL |

I suppose if you travel far enough east of Java, you will reach Krakatoa. |

I have completely forgotten how to create proper links, but Forbidden Island is a good one. It features Martin Denny and the bar scene was filmed at Trader Vic's Honolulu. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfiI9PNf_2o Edit: ah, it worked! [ Edited by Speakeasy Ray on 2024-03-07 16:32:40 ] |
