Wake of the Red Witch also has a good number of user ratings.

@Peter_pbn​ I have added both to the list and removed two titles with less ratings. 

Thanks

@ACT_1​ I thought about including this originally but can't say it matches with the genre as well as the others.

A belated comment, a smart move to have another movie option.

One of my favorites movies in a South Sea setting is Otto Preminger's 'In Harm's Way'. The popularity of the number of films made in the genre definitely seems to mirror the whole tiki culture phase that America went through in 1940s, 1950s and 1960s.
