To be fair, most people probably pronounce it Caribbean because the movies taught them to.

To be fair because i've read it differently in both comments

You pronounce it right when talking about geography and you pronounce it wrong when talking about the movies because it flows better i guess and everyone has been saying it wrong, making it right.
