The first time my father watched Stand By Me he went down memory lane so hard. He said the the boys reminded him of he & his friends growing up and stayed up late into the night telling us stories of his youth. He's gone now but that night will remain with me the rest of my life. That film was already one of my favorite but now it's PART OF ME. Stephen King and Rob Reiner are geniuses
@@bamachine This is not a lie. I hadn't watched that movie for over 15 years. I finally watched it again just last night. The next day you commented about the movie. THAT is what I call inconceivable! 😳
Meat head, dead from the neck up! Gotta love Archie Bunker, and Mike Stivic. Just watched an old Partridge family Rob played a biker that took Loti to a school dance. Priceless!!!!
I met Rob Reiner in the men's room of August restaurant in New Orleans a few years back, class and humor are the first things I think of when I think of him!!!
I could listen to more of this type of conversation. It’s always interesting to hear how movies and television shows took shape and why they were selected and why they weren’t selected.
He has always seemed very friendly in casual interviews like this. He also at one point was one of the greatest directors ever up until North sadly. Still every film he made before was great and he proved to be one of the most talented filmmakers of his generation. His only post North movie I genuinely liked was American President. Bucket List was ok but just decent.
"We don't want Hugh, we want our son North" 😂💕👍 Reiner is a genius. Have loved everything he's been in front of the camera and behind. Great talent. Him and his Father 💕
I just saw Misery for the first time last month and, wow, is that an extraordinary piece of work, amazing details, Rob is a deeply underappreciated director.
I think it was made for kids, and a lot of adult critics just didn't "get it". I also enjoyed it as a kid, and probably would be critical today, so I just leave it alone for the sake of nostalgia 💗
I really don’t hate it as much as Ebert and others did. I wouldn’t even put it in my top ten worst movies ever. Probably not even in my top 20 worst. A couple jokes were mildly amusing but the main problems I had were the tastelessness of the Hawaii and Alaska sequences, North himself was an egotistical jerk and the Winchell kid annoyed the crap out of me. Still I find it watchable at minimum and find it an interesting failure to analyze where everything went wrong with it. Honestly had Reiner not directed it because of his previous directorial reputation I don’t think it would have been as hated. This was just the first time some things in his movie didn’t work but not all of it was that way. It has its moments but it was a huge step down from his previous films. It’s an average film at best but not one of the worst ever. I would meet it halfway and give it five out of ten.
@@111ooooI have never seen that MOvie. I will have to see it. Thank You for the Info I do love Terry Gillian's Twelve Monkeys even though the Good Guys not only lost, but were killed in that MOvie.
I still think having the legs broken is Misery was better than having them chopped off. A) you get to show it more graphically B) more people can relate with the pain of a broken bone than an amputation.
this dude is so humble and funny and yet - he's responsible for SO much of our cultural consciousness in entertainment. from Happy Days to Stand By Me to When Harry Met Sally to Seinfeld. What a career.
I was reading comments so maybe i missed it, but did you mention Primus was in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure? I'm pretty sure that was Primus at the end of the movie, right?
Billy Crystal did NOT write the "I'll have what she's having" line. It's from "Round Midnight, which predates "When Harry Met Sally" by 3 years. In fact, chapter 9 of the movie "Round Midnight is CALLED "I'll Have The Same". In it, the movie's protagonist, Jazz musician Dale Turner, upon seeing a man at the bar falling backwards drunk and unconscious, says to the bartender, "S'il vous plait, I would like to have the same thing he had". Billy Crystal has talked about growing up among Jazz musicians, so is sure to have seen 'Round Midnight and encountered the line in its ORIGINAL context and superior form.
Im a big Rob Reiner fan and Billy Crystal is great ......... but that line was in a jazz themed movie from 1986 called 'Round Midnight starring Dexter Gordon ..... they are trying to keep dexters character in playing shape for the gigs ...... he is not to be served at the bar ......the man next to him slams a drink and falls over.... dexter smiles and says .....ill have what hes having ...... No real argument here just a plug for a great movie ......Martin Scorcese plays a booking agent with a pretty hard edge ...... worth looking at for that alone ......'Round Midnight .......
What is it with these interviewers that they need to sit behind a desk and be at least a foot above their guests ? Inferiority complex springs to mind.
it needs to be said: North has always been an underrated movie and Roger Ebert - RIP - was a schmuck. if I had a nickel for every crap film he raved about -
It had some truly cringeworthy moments in it but I found it watchable at minimum and feel Ebert and Siskel overreacted by saying how bad they thought it was. I wouldn’t even put it in my top ten or 20 all time worst movies. It’s an average, watchable and forgettable movie at best.
Sorry,, Princess Bride is by far and will always be his best movie. People will be watching that long after all the other ones, though they are good. Princess Brides transcends generations.
I still say if it weren't for Larry David, we wouldn't know who Seinfeld is today. He's not that funny. David is the comedic genius. And yet, Seinfeld is the arrogant one.
Man, Rich is a great interviewer! Dude's got intelligence, humor and gives his guests room to shine.
The last scene of Stand By Me was awesome and beautiful.
The last line of Princess Bride always makes my eyes water.
He's made so many brilliant films, phenomenal director.

Reiner berating Wheaton and O'Connell was hilarious.
Rob Reiner= the love child of Dr. Phil and Kevin Pollak.
God damn that's funny!
Rob Reiner's "A few Good Men" was a masterpiece and I didn't know he directed Stand be me till now which is amazing , just like his dad he is a legend
"I'm a lawyer and an officer in the United States Navy. And you're under arrest, you son of a bitch."

Rob Reiner is so brilliant he makes sure to give everyone credit
He mentioned Sure thing which I was so happy about.
ITS SUPER UNDERRATED
WATCH IT
Classic film!
Watched it more times than Star Wars possibly.
The credit card scene is one of my favorite scenes of all time.
Cheesballs ?
Rob is an amazing director!

@@spencerhensley5495 I agree. He was involved in a lot of great projects, movies and TV.

I wish he would have asked him about what he thought of they way they portrayed him on South Park.
yes, i really think James Caan's performance is Misery is not appreciated enough --- fantastic.
I just saw Misery for the first time last month and, wow, is that an extraordinary piece of work, amazing details, Rob is a deeply underappreciated director.
"Heavens to Betsy"
This show is the best.
Misery the book is very bizarre. Great job on screen play
Rob is amazing
The guy has made some amazing films. And North is one of my favorites of his. I think it's fantastic, and I don't understand the hate it gets.

aamzing career this guy had,,wow

Rob's recollection of Andre's fart while filming The Princess Bride. Funny as hell...
Just realized this guy was a director. He’s a phenomenal supporting role. God I’m stupid. Love this guy
Haha same. I always knew him as Jess’ dad in New Girl…no clue he was such a great director
Us old farts remember him as Michael "Meathead" Stivic in All in the Family back in the 70s.
😂😅 I remember the movie "North"... and liked it. 🤷♀️
How many of you saw Rob in "Enter Laughing". A small part but years before All In The Family.
Misery is one of my favorite movies of all time.
I could listen to 8 hours of rob talking movies
Rob could have played himself in Seinfeld and would have fit right in as a great character.
A good friend of Newman's, works for FedEx 😂
This guy seems to have been involved with so many very successful projects, I wonder what his net worth is now?
this dude is so humble and funny
and yet - he's responsible for SO much of our cultural consciousness in entertainment. from Happy Days to Stand By Me to When Harry Met Sally to Seinfeld.

Love you Rob 💗🧸
I was reading comments so maybe i missed it, but did you mention Primus was in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure? I'm pretty sure that was Primus at the end of the movie, right?
One thing Reiner forgot to mention about "Seinfeld" was that Jerry's manager, George Shapiro was Rob's cousin (by marriage).
A true GIANT in the business!
That clip could've been longer.
Got a match for my gaslight? I got a pot I want to boil over. Hysterical.
Rob in the Andy Griffith episode "Goober's Contest", 1967. Just the start...
Probably not like, "The Contest," episode in "Seinfeld," right?
He said he didn't yell at them, then he recounted yelling at them.
“$26,000 worth of sides??!?!”
26 thousand FUCKING DOLLARS WORTH OF SIDES JORDY???
They cure cancer. 😬

“I just told him, ‘you’re not gonna get paid this week.’” LOL
Dude has Seinfeld money too!?
he's got 100, Seinfeld's got 500+
This started as a truth or false
Actually Ebert said he used the word hated for the movie North TEN times
HOW can you leave off WHEN HARRY MET SALLY?
he didn't, he talked about his mom being in the movie with the funniest line ever
I love Rob Reiner.
Did he call Larry David, Larry Davidson? I'm not knocking it gave me a chuckle
this is a great show, i have no idea who you are and how we found you.

"Meathead" ! Love the artistry . . .
Funny how Rob played MEATHEAD in All in the Family and then lives his life as an actual MEATHEAD...
Brilliant director. Hate his views outside of that.
@Jon not a meathead... 🤣
I liked him in South Park.
👌👌👌
Boy Archie had him pegged!
In Misery she also saws his thumb off with an electric knife.
Rob Reiner is much more interesting when not being political...
I liked North.
Sways be ‘meathead ‘
BUTTER! BUTTEEEEEEEER 🧈
boy was archie bunker right about him

Interviewers don't design the set. You should know better.
Because they’re egomaniacs.
Meathead?

They look just a like down to the shirt.
The Sure Thing.
Meathead is worth $200 million. What would Archie say?
Geeez
I guess he couldn't call him a 'communist' any longer. 😂
Um... Rob... that would count as "screaming at them." But, whatevs.
Judging by the comments Reiner upset their boyfriend
He truly is meathead.
A meathead laughing all the way to the bank.
Didn't ask him anything about being meathead :(
Meat head has come a long way!
I enjoyed North quite a bit, just saying.
The equiliaser
Rob reiner is stell a meat head i do like him a lot
Talented Jew!!!
he still is meathead:D
This guy doesn't age...
Geez Rob’s a smart guy....duh.
three or four stories, intertwining...
Its Meathead !!!

Do Rich Eisen and his staff have dementia? They ask the same questions of the same guests over and over again.
I wonder if he still watches The Dick Van Dyke Show? I like his dad,but not the Alan Brady character.
I just wish Reiner could stick to entertainment and not politics. He has done such a great job at directing and such a shitty job a politics.
@Jon And you would be wrong.
The most wacko liberal of all time! Welcome to the Rich Eisen show!
Guy is a Freakin Duesch
Love your show. Love Reiner's movies. Can't stand the man though.
His politics SUCK but he’s a phenomenal film maker!! One of my favorites is a lesser known film called Bye, Bye, Love!!
Meat Head.
Rob Reiner is a horrible human being?
