allflicker: I cannot begin to describe how utterly weird a movie Michael Winner’s HANNIBAL BROOKS (1969) is. Oliver Reed plays a Brit POW in Germany who escapes the Nazis into the Alps with his adorable pet elephant Lucy plus you got Michael J Pollard as a clearly stoned out of his gourd…

papermissy: Time for a new Oliver Reed pic for my header. With kitten.

FrogAlaPeche: See you all at 9pm. A cracking Christie adaptation, with Oliver Reed, Elke Sommer, Goldfinger, Largo, Commissioner Dreyfuss and Jurassic Park owner, and others.

mattie2twi: Ouch. TPTV. 'And then there was none' with charles aznavour, dickie attenborough, Oliver Reed. Was there ever such a wooden, leaden adaptation of Agatha Christie? sorry, just awful.

SelsdonChapman: The wonderfully creepy 1974 version of And Then There Were None is on Talking Pictures TV right now. Oliver Reed, Herbert Lom, Dickie Attenborough, Gert Frobe et al. One of my favourite Christie adaptations, even if they do muck up the ending.

la_bonj: Loved watching this tonight! Oliver Reed is probably my favourite actor of all time!

EDTHEBEAR3: Oliver Reed Wild Thing The Word 1992

ronrontheque: Felix le chaton d’Oliver Reed interrompt la lecture du script de La Nuit du loup-garou (The Curse of the Werewolf) de Terence Fisher. Par Chris Ware, Londres, 1960.

ajasont: Worth it for Oliver Reed as Eddie Mars. Also, hews much closer to the book than the Bogart/Bacall version.

golddustvera: in my oliver reed era no one speak to me

Mag1cH0ur: On this day, March 27th, 1975, Ken Russell's TOMMY, starring Roger Daltrey, Elton John, Oliver Reed and Ann-Margret, opened in London at the Leicester Square Theatre..

GarethJ68493066: Oliver Reed...I hope I don't hijack the thread but...For you who are about to die, I salute you!!! Are there any Queer Giraffes?

BretReed9: Yea fly with reed in world war two fly again maverick esther copsey few proud the Marines latham wheeler's navy no memorial wall Vietnam Korea like lowe Oliver's served

haesquerda: Damn, isto é uma morte ao nível do Judge Dread: Ridley Scott says Oliver Reed ‘dropped down dead’ after challenging sailors to drinking match while filming Gladiator, “dropped down dead on the floor of a pub”.

ks_1968: Just because I'm watching Lion of the Desert with Oliver Reed......lovely eyes.

RunItBackPhilly: Y’all thought I was just negative to be negative lmao. Doc Rivers will kill this team just like he did the last 2 seasons. Why would it change? He does dumb shit. Taking Maxey out when he was hot and benching Paul Reed for Dedmon is just embarrassing decision making.

Mag1cH0ur: On this day, March 25th, 1976, THE SELLOUT, starring Oliver Reed and Richard Widmark, opened at Warner West End 2 in London..

Acme_Tiki: Had this on the background today while I worked. Michael York, Oliver Reed, Raquel Welch, Charlton Heston, Faye Dunaway, Christopher Lee... It's super fun. Lots of swashbucklry and daring-do. I don't know why it's not more popular.

adamsmith1922: Sunday Night Movie: Lion of the Desert – Anthony Quinn, Oliver Reed, Rod Steiger

SFFAudio: THE BRIGAND OF KANDAHAR (1965) the British army fights off rampaging locals in 1850s India stars Oliver Reed FULL FILM:

MayfairCynic: Good heavens. Two* drinks and I've turned into Oliver bloody Reed. *ish

gretavantpwk: PLOT TWIST: Oliver Reed is the Master and he comes back as the hooded figure

beyondcurtain12: Samantha Bingley, Isabel Canning, Samara Casteallo, Lauren Chia, Julie Cloke, Jordan Cunningham, Philip Day, Nell Martin, Ellie Mitchell, Kody Mortimer, Matt Overfield, Angelo Paragoso, Oliver Ramsdale, Anthony Reed, Chloe Taylor and Samuel Wilson-Freeman make up the ensemble.

menonfilmpod: Sitting Target (1972) starring Oliver Reed

folkhorrorforum: FLICKER PICK-1967's classic proto-FH The Shuttered Room has everything a good folk horror should have including a family of inbreds & a sobering performance by Oliver Reed. Based loosed on the Dunwich Horror,Faversham in Kent here stands in for the rural terrors of New England

littleraskul: oliver reed

Flynnisaware: Trying to use an IPhone makes my brain go all Oliver Reed.

StephenAmell: Ok… Ok… Ok Barry… Barry let go… BARRY LET GO!!! - Oliver Queen, Flash 9x09

Jelam08: English actor Oliver Reed, notorious hellraiser….

TheDylanRabbit: Oliver Reed and Ned's Atomic Dustbin on The Word.

d4doome: The Brigand of Kandahar (1965) is a rather ambitious historical adventure film from Hammer with a bit of complexity in the character dynamics. Oliver Reed adds some fun as a rebel tribal leader. Much better than its reputation suggests. My review:

oxley264: Diana Rigg and Oliver Reed press launch at the Hilton London 1967 to announce the film The Assassination Bureau..

PastPostcard: Everyone in Paris looks like Oliver Reed.

kronkblats: Forgot how much I love seeing Oliver Reed go full tilt bonkers

JCluskey21: Calm down Oliver Reed

SSheil: Today’s best charity shop vinyl buy - Ron Godwin’s soundtrack to 1967’s The Trap, starring Rita Tushingham and Oliver Reed

NicoleB84155868: Oliver Reed in "Gladiator" (2000)

mangiotto: Watching a few flicks for a piece I'm working on to find Basil Deardon's THE ASSASSINATION BUREAU (1969) is better than advertised. It's silly, but the tale of journo Diana Rigg circa 1914 who hires a corporation of killers to kill their own founder Oliver Reed has strong moments

GCWrestling_: *EVANSVILLE UPDATE* Just Signed: BLAKE CHRISTIAN vs MYRON REED Plus: Nick F'N Gage Billy Roc/Starkz/Radrick vs SGC Bussy vs Gilbert/Rich Bryan Keith vs Calvin Tankman Shigehiro Irie Nick Wayne Jordan Oliver +more! Get Tix:

theatricaljosh: the Oliver reed glasses…before they were the Oliver reed glasses (peep Sam in the back)

mcpheeceo: Soundtrack for "Beat Girl," a 1960 British film. Christopher Lee played a strip club operator & Oliver Reed a "beat" youth. A British Film Censor said it was "machine-made dirt" & "the worst script I have read for some years" It did very well in theaters.

s_galasso: if Nicolas Roeg made it in the early 80’s maybe the Djinn would have been played by Oliver Reed ?

Mag1cH0ur: On this day, March 20th, 1969, THE ASSASSINATION BUREAU starring Oliver Reed, Diana Rigg and Telly Savalas opened at the Paramount in London..

DummyBM: No 2: Des O'Connor, Stan Boardman and the Fokker joke. Oliver Reed was also on the show that week, as well as Freddie Starr. What could possibly go wrong?

MartinKnight_: Just watching The Bulldog Breed with Norman Wisdom. Delighted to spot Oliver Reed. & Michael Caine in uncredited bit parts in the first several minutes.

KulvinderGill: Through a coincidence of TV scheduling, Talking Pictures TV are showing David Lean’s 1948 film of “Oliver Twist” as GREAT! movies screen Carol Reed’s 1968 film of Lionel Bart’s musical “Oliver!”, so you can switch between the two and create your own non-linear, art-house version!

kolach3: Oliver Reed on Letterman, August 5, 1987 (full, stereo)

WeBustedGhosts: Ghostbusters (1980) starring Walter Matthau, Dabney Coleman, Oliver Reed and David Naughton (dir. John Landis)

LibrarySheet: 48 years ago, Ken Russell's film of The Who's rock opera 'Tommy' premiered in New York; it featured a star-studded cast, including the band members themselves, as well as Oliver Reed, Eric Clapton, Tina Turner, Elton John, Arthur Brown & Jack Nicholson.

nickkorte: Relevant potential compensatory free agents that are still waiting for a precise APY: •Thomas Morstead •Dan Feeney •Malik Reed •Cody Ford •Greedy Williams •Jarran Reed •Robert Tonyan •Greg Gaines •Trysten Hill •Isaiah Oliver

M4D3L1N3RUL3R: “omg i love oliver reed madeleine phantasms” oliver reed madeleine phantasms:

mattdoylemedia: It also serves an additional reminder for me that Oliver Reed could well have been an excellent James Bond were it not for his off-screen behaviour scuppering his chances.

SwabianSalute: French werewolf film “Teddy” is basically a modern re-shoot of this, sans the magnificent Oliver Reed. Worth checking out.

HorrorHammer1: Catherine Feller and Oliver Reed, Curse of the Werewolf (1961)

RTabletops: The Shuttered Room, Oliver Reed, Gig Young, Original Cinema Poster 1967

SpiderMals: Denzel is gonna be in Gladiator 2, what Oliver Reed was in Gladiator

tomshaps: the 1966 film The Trap asks to believe a bear might attack Oliver Reed instead of recognizing him as one the bear's own

danGEROUSbrown: Growing up Gladiator was one of my fav films. It felt like a modern epic, Crowe hits each note making him a major figure. Prime Ridley Scott, young Joaquin. Oliver Reed...the soundtrack. It's CINEMA

BabeDeJour: In the vein of 60s enfants terribles like Richard Burton, Peter O'Toole, Oliver Reed and Richard Harris; a true movie star, if you ask me.

AnnaWoolf7: This sounds like a week in the life of my husband in 2008. But he was funding it with call centre commissions, not making films with Oliver Reed.

YasujiroBozo: Oliver Reed would beat the shit out of me I know that much

FurtherReeding: Happy Birthday to David Cronenberg! We celebrate you and your decision to let Oliver Reed wear a Terry cloth bathrobe in THE BROOD (1979).

MOONCARBot: Christopher Cooke, Trey Normile, Oliver Turan, and Reed Grant have announced that they will form a team together for next year's MOONCAR 24.

FurtherReeding: I'm here to tell you that the photos of Oliver Reed in the Facebook group known as "The Oliver Reed Appreciation Society" are straight fire.

Thetribalmind: A tale at dawn, illuminated by Matthew Martin. Our progress through the GOAT storytellers has reached the 1838 novel by Charles Dickens that became a musical by Lionel Bart in 1960, which became an Oscar winning film by Carol Reed in 1968. Oliver Twist is an orphan

Hecalledtheshi1: Johnny Depp is currently less than two years younger than Oliver Reed lived to be.

CISTelford: Farmer Focus: Beaconhill Holsteins, Cullompton, Devon The 180-pedigree Beaconhill Holstein herd is run by Andrew, Oliver, Wendy and Becca Reed. In 2016 the Reeds invested in a completely new 200-cow dairy unit on a greenfield site.

Moonspinner55: Hollywood 74: What did Oliver Reed think of his female co-stars on THE THREE MUSKETEERS? "I invited Raquel to my bday party in Madrid because I fancied her hairdresser. When she found out, she sulked & wouldn't talk to me." And Faye Dunaway? "She thought I was a son of a bitch!"

yuckyjack: Did you know: Mark Lester who played the title character in Oliver! (1968) had a septum ring, but director Carol Reed had him flip it up so it was hidden during filming.

PatrickZircher: Jeanne Moreau Oliver Reed Delroy Lindo Lee Marvin

westonfront: Brilliant actress. Love her in "The Trap" (where she gets to chop Oliver Reed's leg off!)

NotAntifaPsiOp: Your man, Richard Bacon, was entrapped in a Sunday tabloid sting 26 years ago and the transphobes are dining off it in the replies like he is a cross between Oliver Reed, Paul Gascoigne and Keith Richards. Guy got his life together and Glinner can't stand it.

JamesL1927: KEITH MOON and OLIVER REED enjoying a ‘quiet’ night in 1974.

Mag1cH0ur: On this day March 13th, 1969, Michael Winner's HANNIBAL BROOKS starring Oliver Reed and Michael J. Pollard opened at the London Pavilion..

JOliverSpawn: Welcome to the world Slate Reed Earl Oliver

SarahTheColor: I need to hear the boys talk about Oliver Reed in The Brood

domdyer70: Oliver Reed with his Great Dane Tara who he saved from Battersea Dogs Home. Oliver Reed found the Dog half starved & nursed him back to good health they were then inseparable

TheCastrovalvan: There's a total lack of chemistry between them which just makes it worse. Oliver Reed gives a rather odd performance as well as a violent Teddy Boy gang leader. The script feels like two different films bolted together - a Brighton Rock knock-off suddenly switches...

jennydeath11: Oliver Reed was amazing

Papapishu: I would let Oliver Reed punch me in the head, it’d be a great story and he would say something cool beforehand

ageofjark: me glad i’m not wearing a gvf shirt in public and then realizing it’s my oliver reed sweater

GreenHillHorror: The Brood (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] Directed by David Cronenberg A woman is receiving psychotherapy while her daughter, under the care of her husband, is being terrorized by demonic beings. Available Now:

TimePsychic: Actor Christopher Plummer may resemble Jack Palance, Urbano Barberini, Graham Clarke and possibly others such as Oliver Reed of the fantasy adventure Gor (1987). Palance & Plummer appeared together on a 1955 episode of The Ed Sullivan TV talk show.

TroyMP94: Me when I remember Carol Reed won Best Director for Oliver! of all things.

endebussy: 22. the debussy film - 1965 — a film about the real life events of composer claude debussy. (played by oliver reed). this film is in english.

BttmShlfMovies: Two of my favorite films are getting a new restoration and 4K UHD release in the UK on April 24th! These UHD discs should be region free. In my opinion, Richard Lester’s films represent the definitive version of the Musketeers on screen (and Oliver Reed is matchless as Athos).

palves1144: “Awe and respect are two different things.” –Oliver Reed

disc_connected: Oliver Reed, Raquel Welch and Richard Chamberlain. In 17th Century Paris, young, naïve and energetic D'Artagnan leaves home to seek his fortune as a swordsman. He soon makes friends with the three musketeers: world-weary Athos, comically arrogant Porthos and chivalric Aramis.

itsphilipbak: hahaha... and that's why I drink like Oliver Reed at every professional gathering I attend.

RodneyMarshall1: A young Oliver Reed, cast as a baddie in The Saint episode The King of the Beggars. Roger Moore would later recall Reed - on the fourth take - reacting to being shot in the climatic scene, spinning around, leaping into the air...and knocking himself out.

Miss__Tree: Engaging 1976 Spy thriller with Richard Widmark and Oliver Reed, set in Israel. The riddle of 'the Sell Out'.

Edgar Albert Guest Poem
The Killing Place
 by Edgar Albert Guest

We're hiking along at a two-forty pace
We 're making life seem like a man-killing race,
With our nerves all on edge and our jaws firmly set
We go rushing along; with our brows lined with sweat
And our cheeks pale and drawn every minute we dash,
And the goal that we 're after is merely more cash.

We 're out for the money, the greenbacks and gold,
...
