My Take
I have a soft spot for Rob Reiner because his filmography reads like a list of movies I'd happily rewatch on any rainy afternoon. The man went from playing Meathead on All in the Family to directing this absurd run of classics, and what gets me is the range. Spinal Tap basically invented the mockumentary, Stand by Me nails that ache of boyhood friendship, The Princess Bride is endlessly quotable, and When Harry Met Sally still owns the rom-com template. He's not a flashy auteur with a signature visual style, and honestly that's the charm. He just serves the story, trusts his actors, and lets the warmth come through. A genuine craftsman, and a really likable one at that.
