Rob Reiner, the director behind some of Hollywood\u2019s most beloved and endlessly rewatchable movies, has died at 78.<\/a><\/p>\n

Reiner\u2019s death closes the book on a prolific career built on movies that stayed with audiences. His films didn\u2019t rely on visual tricks or showy direction \u2013 instead, he trusted scripts, actors and stories that let the work speak for itself.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe addressed each movie on its own terms,\u201d critic Alan Sepinwall told The Post. \u201cThere are a lot of celebrated directors whose work you look at and can always recognize as theirs. Reiner didn\u2019t have a house style and bent his approach to what that film needed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c[People have expressed] disbelief that the same man had made films as varied as \u2018Stand By Me\u2019 and \u2018A Few Good Men,’\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
