bradburleson Posted April 9, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Does anyone have suggestions on Hawaiian-themed movies or TV shows to watch on the (8.5 hour from Dallas) flight to Honolulu? We love everything, especially documentaries and comedy. All suggestions, though, are greatly welcomed. Mahalo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cccole Posted April 9, 2018 #5 Share Posted April 9, 2018 My all time favorite is Blue Hawaii, with Elvis Presley, because I saw it a zillion times in the theater as a young girl. Others are - Charlie Chan in Honolulu; From Here to Eternity; Tora, Tora, Tora; Pearl Harbor with Ben Affleck; and Molokai: The Story of Father Damien. My favorite Charlie Chan novel was House Without a Key but I do not think it became a movie. And I think the current Hawaii 5-0 series offers spectacular scenic views!!!! We also enjoy the series for the drama!!! Have fun!!!!!! Cherie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Sean Posted April 9, 2018 #6 Share Posted April 9, 2018 The Brady Bunch Hawaii special (but that won't get you very far) Forgetting Sarah Marshall Jurassic Park (yeah it's set off the coast of Costa Rica but was filmed in Hawaii) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cccole Posted April 10, 2018 #7 Share Posted April 10, 2018 (edited) Also, Hanalei Bay on Kauai was used in the filming of the movie South Pacific. And "The Legend of Eddie Aikau" is a great tribute to the late Hawaiian surfer and lifeguard. There are a couple films about Duke Kahanamoku, great surfer, athlete, and Hawaiian celebrity whose history and name are remembered at the restaurant "Duke's" on Waikiki.
