Oliver Reed - a film retrospective

[KARLOS2269]

Nicely done OllyBolly. I'm a massive Ollie fan and love to watch both his films and chat show interviews. He had an incredible charisma and huge screen presence - without a doubt one of the greatest actors ever. Do you have any archive material from his many chat show appearances that aren't already on you tube?

[markriviers]

A nice compilation of photos from Oliver Reed's films. I thought he was just great- no one like him

[pouchfreeman]

"It's all for you Damien!" Sorry, it's the music.

[tonyblake69]

Well done sir ollybolly ! main omission for me is he bates the triple echo but all the other good ones are in there cheers "Ollie from BM that was ...

[awshucks]

Barry Norman....whose own career as a critic was akin to a large, inexplicable wart placed prominently on someones face. Ugly, but yet you just had to pay attention to it or stare at it.

[98bigbutt]

I never heard until I saw Gladiator.

[panther9able]

Hello?!!!...?!!!...?!!!...The Triple Echo???!!!

[cfc67]

Does anyone know the name of this music ?

[SirOllyBolly]

Full details of music in the credits at the end

[nelsonafonso1]

@cfc67 It belongs to  Vangelis my friend

[nameerwahsh]

@cfc67 Vangelis ' conquest of paradise' album

[MsJtyler123]

What a gorgeous man he was!!! I was too young to appreciate him but I now know why my mother went to see his movies!!!!

[MultiCathy1]

Impressive vid with the magnetic music of Vangelis.... How gorgeous!

[TheDsmyth]

wow!

[JollyRodders]

Watching this I could imagine he would have made a great Bond. He was certainly a tough nut.

[reaper060670]

@JollyRodders Hey there..Do u know the name of the film REED was in when a party of people were invited 2 on old hse. The person who invited them never showed himself but he told them all of bad things they'd done in life..Such as murder,etc...I just can't think of the film...I'm nearly sure it woulda been late 70's early 80's?? maybe...If u could help i'd b very greatful...Thnx!

[Hollywoodsteve]

No mention of "Two Of A Kind"? I am only kidding I hated that film.

[vonVince]

Oliver was a man who had lived a life to its fullest - a bit too much from time to time. He was making a new rise with Gladiator, only to die before his prime.

[Funbone2]

I would have liked to have seen "The Lion Of The Desert" included. As Marshall Rudolfo Graziana he outshown both Anthony Quinn AND Rod Steiger.

[lennon890]

What is the song please?

[cfc67]

@lennon890

I was wondering if you ever found out the name of the track, as i'd like to know what it is also.

[1959child]

what was the name of the film in which he played an army sgt, who dabbles with a tranny or transexual and batters him.. can you post it on for me..ta..

[TheKaz1971]

please tell what this music is? t blows my mind

[1231violin]

a very but very very beasty sexy man!!!!.....compared to Alain Delon...!!

[BoomerAndButlerFan]

he was really sexy..me fisr movie what i see of him was

the hunting party

[imbluz]

In the last picture of Tommy (1975) I swear he looks just like Tony Curtis!

[coolcatfred100]

Oliver Reeds finest performance must have been Castaway(1986), Oliver played an old man trying to prove himself to his younger and very beautiful wife. Oliver screen presence was a master class in great acting.

[femsual]

sexy, brooding, intense, mysterious,drunk, powerful , rich and beautiful to look at-- that was OLIVER REED!!

[OliverReed01]

RIP Oliver Reed. We miss you so much. I wish Oliver was alive. Oliver Reed is the best actor in the whole wide world. Oliver you are the best. I love watching his movies. His movies are awesome.

[OliverReed01]

Oliver is so cute. I love him.

[theflowerpower01]

@OliverReed01 Fully Agree!

[203207ab]

Where is the movie zpg or zero population growth?

a little known classic sci-fi movie that is just as good as soylent green in my own personal opinion. A sci-fi movie with a very serious message and statement. :)

[3DogsLive]

He was great in "The adventures of Baron Munchausen" with Uma Thurman at her yummiest. And then there was the second "Lonesome Dove" movie, with a young Reese Witherspoon as his wife.

[Cobain5Moon]

Nice tribute...Missing Burnt Offerings

[EgolandTed]

"Royal Flash", Oliver reed playing Otto Bismark!

Pity it was such an awful Film. :(

[bloodystump3]

What a sexy, beautiful and tortured soul.

[bodyinkgreb]

loads missed must try harder!

[SirOllyBolly]

Alas, Ollie made too many films for them all to be included in everyone's "Favourites" list

[PhakeSlug]

Sitting Target (1972) is also one of his best films in my opinion, Rest In Peace Oliver

[toddjosh26]

where the fuck is The Brood?

[Baronesslace]

I "love" Icon Actor OLIVER REED yes he was very outspoken, intimidating, charming, bold and a dashing adventurer Actor/Man. Rest in sweet peace, Mr. Reed your legacy Classic filmworks live on. My most favorite of them all is a film called "The Trap" & "The Three Musketeer's" franchise to name a couple few. I love his works: his amazing & totally gorgeous handsome!

[oldiesman11]

They forgot to include Burnt Offerings 1976....

[SirOllyBolly]

Sadly, Oliver made so many films that not all of them could be included.

[KELVINTHECREATOR]

I had a drink with him at the Iron Horse pub in Glasgow, he was a real gentleman!

[bscottb8]

A right royal roué.

[billysscreeningroom]

Why Oliver wasn't Oscar nominated for his multi-faceted role as Gerald Grich in "Women in Love," I'll never know. In the same year that saw Ryan O' Neal nominated for "Love Story?" A damned shame, a real pity. Marvelous, huge personality; a fine actor.

[tzurka]

does anybody know , where i can find hannibal brooks movie

[antiann52]

Bravo, Sir OllyBolly, Oliver was some kind of wonderful as an actor, magnetic, tough, intense and had the most beautiful eyes.

[Andre2010]

His intense, physical and, well, boozy persona would be perfect in a film noir. Its a shame he never did one.

[Pippie5555]

Great video BUT you missed his best film, the Hunting Party.

His greatest photos were taken from this film and the Prince and the Pauper. He was extremely handsome in those 2 films.

[12dave9]

Nice tribute,he was one of the greats,hard to believe he's gone.

[fosterstwist1]

great guy.....shame! I'll put flowers on his grave!

[afrollito]

yes and he was such goodlooking too!

[theflowerpower01]

Nice done!

I knew his nice brother David, that time I did not even knew he was the brother of my most favorite actor Oliver Reed.I will always regret that I never saw Oliver In real, I think Ollie was a very nice social man and the most splendid actor ever.

[journalistgirl07]

Wow! did u ever meet his brother Simon?

[theflowerpower01]

Yes Simon , about three times.David I knew best and saw him frequently because his also a collector of old filmstar postcards.Sarah I also saw a few times all very nice and down to earth people.Pity I never saw Oliver, that had be very nice.I was surprised Ollie was their brother (found that out here on youtube!)and Sarah has the same eyes as her dad.

[journalistgirl07]

Wow, I kinda envy you, for I want to meet Simon once as well:DD He is a great sports announcer:DD Thanks a lot for your info! Wow once again

[BizzyLizzy132]

That man was so sexy until he turned to drink.What a waste.

[deanyorks]

Great video about a great guy! He makes a lot of todays actors seem bland. Oliver was totally unique. A one-off!

A great tribute, thanks for posting

[hamigon]

He was such a powerful performer.

God... I miss him terribly.

[Iain1028]

Yes does anyone have an "Hunting Party" clips,

Gene Hackman is evil in it.

Really strange and sadistic movie

[HappySoul1973]

god he was such a goodlooking man!!!

[nnff88]

I would love to see The Trap again, great movie, been too long, can't even rent it in video stores! Can somebody post it perhaps? Thanks!!

[Elsa2Bud]

God, he was such a force of life and talent!

[drieaz]

forgot his epic performance in the dan curtis film from 1976: 'Burnt Offerings'

[wwwravehistorycouk]

'I regret not having made love to every women on earth, I regret having not kissed the wet nose on every dog on earth, I regret having not been into every bar on earth, but it doesn't make me a hell raiser. If somebody punches me on the nose, I will punch them back; if somebody buys me a drink, I will buy them one back'

Oliver Reed

[theflowerpower01]

And what about his cats?He loved them too, still they did not obey his last wishes to be buried under a Cherry Tree next to his cat.

What I see on one of the video's, his grave is not well kept and full with weets.

Yes, he gave drinks back in pubs, my ex-boyfriend Paul knew him and they where good buddies, I think he learnd to drink from Ollie in Sevenoaks when he was young.

Him a Hellraiser never,look behind the shield and you see a sweet man with a big heart.

[LadyRubyBlue]

Congratulations, very well done video.

He was such a good actor. And those eyes are pure magnetism.

[Plet55]

You forgot a lot of films, even the Hunting Party which was my favourite.

[SirOllyBolly]

Well he made a lot of films - so enevitably some had to be left out.

[Plet55]

Yes you are right :-) I just love the Hunting Party.

[caffeinatedsue]

Nicely done.
