An Aloha party is fabulous, full of long-leafed skirts and vibrant colors, but while you're out getting your party supplies, how about picking up some movies to really get your guests into the aloha mood?

An Aloha party is the perfect setting for some Hawaiian movies, and there are plenty of those out there. Since an aloha party is supposed to be fun and bright and colorful, it may be best to stay away from films such as Pearl Harbor, but there are plenty of films out there that you can use to create the mood your guests will be expecting.

South Pacific, although not being directly about Hawaii, is a Rodger and Hammerstein musical adapted to movie format, and is considered to be the biggest and best Broadway musical ever. There are plenty of songs to sing along with, and some of your older guests may even know all of them! Make sure your party supplies match the theme of your movie though, otherwise it might not quite work out properly, and your movie may be a little off-topic, especially with a movie that's not directly about Hawaii.

Birds Of Paradise is another Hawaiian movie, produced in the 1930's, that could be a good bet for your party, especially if you have an older generation joining you. The film created a scandal though with Dolores del Río swimming nude. This film however was made before the film rules and regulations came in, and since then, the scene has been classed as quite soft and classy.

Lastly, Blue Hawaii may be a good upbeat film for your party. Starring Elvis Presley, this is bound to get the girls swooning and the men wishing they were him! Coming out of the army, Presley is happy to be back in Hawaii with his friends and his surf board, but will his mother allow him to live this carefree life for long? You can find out if your aloha party decides to go down the Blue Hawaii route!
