Milkman delivers Posted December 15, 2025 Share Posted December 15, 2025 (edited) Reiner was underrated as an actor and directed some of my favorite movies of all time. These kinds of things are shocking as you kind of picture those types of problems not really existing in wealthy/Hollywood families. It’s similar to how I felt after Gene Hackman’s death. EDIT: And I didn’t even realize he directed Stand By Me. Edited December 15, 2025 by Milkman delivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then you factor in the mans relationship with a guy like Mel Brooks, and the generational effect that group had on GenX is crazy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also was instrumental in acquiring Shawshank redemption and getting it into Darabonts hands because he couldn’t direct it himself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His dad wrote all 35 Dick Van Dyke episodes per season. How the hell can one mind pull that off? And like u said: Spinal Tap to A Few Good Men and Harry Met Sally? All amazing movies, all different. And his acting ... that scene in All in the Family in which he thanks Archie for everything he did for him upon moving Gloria and the kid to California is so well acted it makes one tear up. And his acting in Spinal Tap, all improvised? WTH? He is a 10 out of 10. And even though I disagreed with his politics 100 percent, I don't give a flip about that. His brillance and intelligence deserved an audience. I saw him on some talk shows debating politics in a calm manner, not like most cable TV shows where they scream over each other. Rob Reiner rest in peace. The way he died saddens and sickens me. Disgusting. I love Rob Reiner even tho I never met him.

Last June, he gave an hour-long and in-person discussion for my company about being an advocate for health, awareness, and community. It was shared live with the entire company via Teams. He seemed like a cool dude and was extremely humble about his successful career. I remember him saying that he was feeling better after treatment. He is survived by his wife and six children. RIP.

He was supposed to appear at a Dawson creek reunion last September and instead sent in a video, and when I saw it I knew he did not have much time left. You can search for it and see, cancer had just ravaged him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
