"Moonwalker" -- a collection of short films made 由 MJ in 1988 -- was never released theatrically in the United States ... but one L.A. movie theater is finally trying to make it happen ... for one night only.



TMZ has learned Arclight Cinemas in Hollywood is on the hunt for a film print of the 1988 cult classic ... after MJ 粉丝 flooded the A.C. 脸谱 page with the challenging request.

According to reports, "Moonwalker" was never theatrically released in America because of failed negotiations with U.S. movie distributors back in the 日 ... however the flick was eventually released in The States on VHS.

FYI -- "Moonwalker" featured a super-iconic 25-minute featurette for "Smooth Criminal" ... which included an awesome cameo 由 Joe Pesci.

Arclight claims they're actively searching for the print -- we'll let 你 know if the 搜索 succeeds.

Certain items found in the room where Michael Jackson died could help shape Dr. Conrad Murray's defense -- namely, that other docs were medicating Michael.


Sources connected with the case tell TMZ ... evidence in the room suggests certain potent drugs were "prescribed and prepared" for MJ to self-medicate.

As we first reported, Dr. Murray's team will not challenge the L.A. County Coroner's finding that Jackson died of a massive Propofol overdose. But as we told you, Murray's team will present evidence in the doc's manslaughter case that Michael awakened, then gave himself the fatal dose of Propofol when Murray left the room.

We're told Murray's team hasn't decided if it will use the evidence found in the room to implicate other doctors in Jackson's death. But we do know Murray's legal team will present evidence during the trial that the fruits of Jackson's notorious doctor shopping over two decades wore his body down.

The rep for Dr. Murray's lawyer refused comment.

你 came and changed my life
你 Let Me survive
I never felt like this before
It's very perfect 更多 Than I Thought
I came to This world hopeless,helpless
你 Made Me Speechless
I was alone with no friend
你 came my friend
Until The end
and never looked for How Much 你 had to spend
when My fears came
你 came and took The shame
你 lifted me up In the sky
and Made me fly so high
like a butterfly
cause you're 天使 In My sky
你 opened my heart
Through blocked walls
你 Made Me See the light
through Darkness night
你 were My dreams
through My fighting In nightmare
I can't explain Much
how I Feel About You
Just Let my feelings come to you
Cause I 爱情 you
yes It's true!!!!!!!!!!
