Can you think of any movies with tropical scenery?

I liked watching Tom Cruise in 'Cocktail'. His character worked as a bar man in Jamaica I think. I enjoyed seeing the movie called 'The Beach' because it was filmed in Thailand. So can you suggest any movies set in tropical countries that are in English? Do you have a favorite that you have seen?

What about Muriel's Wedding? That is set on a tropical island when Muriel goes with her so called friends, I know it's based in New Zealand but don't they visit the Hibiscus Isles? If my memory serves me correctly, will have to see that film again one of my favourites, I love Toni Collette. What about Shirley Valentine? With Pauline Collins that's another one. A lot of the James Bond films are set in exotic locations too.

You can watch Pirates of the Caribbean which takes place on Caribbean islands or if you have more time tv serie Lost. There is also Love in the Time of Cholera which for me was too harlequin-like. I personaly liked Anna and the King which is loosle based on true story of English schoolteacher in Siam in 19th century and fell in love with the King of Siam

rather than a movie, i enjoy watching csi miami (i have never been to florida and live in canada) so i like to see the nice colours of the water, the palm trees and the like. have you ever borrowed travel videos from the library?

I also love the film 'The Beach' - I also like '6 Days 7 Nights' which I'm not sure of the exact location but it is a tropical island somewhere - think it might be Fiji though!

I know Hawaii isn't a country but it's tropical... I enjoyed 50 first Dates and Forgetting Sarah Marshall, both were in Hawaii for the most part. My Father, the Hero (my guilty pleasure) was set in the Caribbean, I think. I'm sure there's lot out there, I just can't think of anything anymore right now.
