Where to Stream Rob Reiner’s Most Beloved Films

Rob Reiner spent a long and prolific career making Hollywood magic from behind the camera, creating a slew of classic films that spanned decades and genres and left an indelible mark on pop culture.

The award-winning 78-year-old director, who died Sunday alongside his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, in what authorities are investigating as an “apparent homicide,” helmed various ‘80s and ‘90s films that are still beloved and widely rewatched years later, from romcom When Harry Met Sally… to coming-of-age drama Stand By Me to horror thriller Misery.

“Rob’s achievements in film and television gave us some of our most cherished stories on screen. But beneath all of the stories he produced was a deep belief in the goodness of people—and a lifelong commitment to putting that belief into action,” wrote former President Barack Obama on X. “Together, he and his wife lived lives defined by purpose. They will be remembered for the values they championed and the countless people they inspired.”
