I watched 'If....' again today and thought it would work well as a dream double bill alongside 'Punishment Park' which, I had just recently seen for the first time.
'If....' (1968) directed by Lindsay Anderson. IMDB link.

Richard, have you ever seen John Mackenzie's Unman, Wittinger and Zigo? I saw it once about 20 years ago on television, whereupon it disappeared; but I figure maybe it gets shown more in the UK.
It's a rather creepy adaptation of a 1965 teleplay that would make a more perfect adjunct to Lindsay Anderson's film. David Hemmings plays a schoolteacher whose curiosity about the extended absences of the eponymous three students leads to a series of larger questions pf life and death (namely his own).
If you ever see this anywhere check it out . . . and let me know! I've been looking for a copy of the thing ever since.
Not only have I never seen this Tom, I had never even heard of it until now.
I had a quick look on IMDB and looks interesting.
Sadly there are many films that where once shown on British TV never seen to get shown at all now.
