also take in point the history of some of these films and their affect on hawaiian tourism... blue hawaii is historically known for its affect on hawaiian tourism in particular! which is why it is so high. i'd imagine the same with south pacific.
elvis and blue hawaii is as much hawaii as don ho, aloha oe, luaus, hula dancers, hula dancers on dashboards, hawaiian shirts and leis. he did not one, but three films in hawaii. his placement on the list there is a historical one. can't help falling in love, one of his most famous and iconic songs, is from that 1961 film. another historical reason why blue hawaii is placed so high on this list is his benefit concerts for the u.s.s. arizona memorial and the aloha from hawaii concert, which was a benefit for the kui lee cancer fund and watched by 1.4 BILLION people worldwide in 1973. again, blue hawaii is there for pure historical reasons. also, blue hawaii is very nearly a travelogue of the islands and really promotes hawaiian tourism--which was probably at its iconic peak in this era.
pearl harbor is only there because of its name and subject, not the actual film's historical effect on the islands or its mediocre to lukewarm critical reception.
raiders of the lost ark made the list with literally about 5 minutes of footage shot there that actually makes it into the movie (the interiors are on stages). that's amazing on its own and speaks for the popularity of the film and the iconic beginning of the film.
jurassic park is a good example of a film that really deserves its spot because of the way it predominantly shows hawaii.
never seen the julie andrews movie or the other pearl harbor film, so i can't comment there. actually, i haven't seen either pearl harbor film, but i can't stomach afleck enough to really try the newer one.
if any of them don't deserve to be on the list, it's raiders of the lost ark simply due to how much of hawaii is actually displayed. it is there because of just how classic it is and the fact that the brief hawaiian bit of footage is at least memorable. kingdom of the crystal skull will likely be more worthy as a film that has more to do with the landscapes of hawaii. if there is one place that the filmmakers visited which was represented the least, it was hawaii, imo. sri lanka, venice, jordan and tunisia were shown much more prominently than hawaii, imo.
