    Dangerous parking? 2007. I have just read a review and found it for £1.95 on play, cheaper than renting got to give it a go at that price.

    "Party Party" 80's film with a lot of well know faces. I loved the film when I first saw it, unsure if I should revisit?

    It was about OZ magazine made around mid 1970's by a independent film company. (long since vanished into ether.)

    A later film, about the same subject Hippie Hippie Shake 1997 also seemed to end up on the missing list?

    Hippie Hippie Shake has never been released, which is probably why you couldn't find it anywhere.

    I'm pretty sure the 1970s version is a single-episode TV dramatisation of the Oz trial, but made in early 1990s. "The Trials Of Oz" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0147627/

    Or were you talking about a documentary?

    An American friend asked if I had heard of something that fitted
    the bill. Seems it was shown on the late show/XXX circut in the
    mid 70's in the US. As always he cannot remember the title which is a minor drawback! could been a art student with a camera and a bag full of weed type productions.....

    No copies are known to exist of Hitchcocks second feature film "The Mountain Eagle" from 1926. The other 65 or so features he made all still exist.
