Hollywood lost a legend on Sunday, December 14, when the beloved director, producer, and activist Rob Reiner passed away at the age of 78. The filmmaker was known for helming movies that shaped childhoods and generations alike, blending heartfelt storytelling with sharp social insight in works that became cultural touchstones and enduring classics. Films such as Stand by Me, Misery, This is Spinal Tap, and A Few Good Men became instant classics and forever altered the celluloid landscape.
