!!Rob Reiner films directed include:

''This Is Spinal Tap'' launched Reiner on a ten-year run of phenomenal success that few Hollywood directors have ever equaled. Between 1984 and 1993 Reiner directed ''Spinal Tap'', ''The Sure Thing'', ''Stand By Me'', ''The Princess Bride'', ''When Harry Met Sally'', ''Misery'', and ''A Few Good Men'', all of which made money and showered him with critical accolades. Then came the disastrous failure of ''North'', which drew one of Creator/RogerEbert's best-remembered reviews ("I hated this movie. Hated, hated, hated, hated, hated this movie. Hated it.") and seemed to [[CreatorKiller permanently knock Reiner off course]]. He temporarily rebounded with ''The American President'' but hasn't again enjoyed the kind of sustained success he had in his first decade as a director. He has kept working, however, still directing films in TheNewTens and occasionally acting in television and in films such as ''Film/TheWolfOfWallStreet''.

Reiner was born to a show business family: his mother Estelle Reiner was an actress and singer and his father was Creator/CarlReiner, the famous writer, actor, and director. Reiner rose to sudden fame when he played the role of Mike "Meathead" Stivic on the 1970s smash hit sitcom ''Series/AllInTheFamily''. In 1984, several years removed from ''All in the Family'', Reiner directed and co-wrote the {{Mockumentary}} ''Film/ThisIsSpinalTap'', which was only a modest success at the time but has gone down as an all-time classic, as well as the TropeMaker for the Mockumentary genre.
