Rob Reiner, the son of the legendary comedian Carl Reiner, was one of Hollywood's best known filmmakers.

As an actor, he became a household name on the 1970s sitcom All in the Family and later appeared as the father of Leonardo DiCaprio's character in The Wolf of Wall Street.

But it was as a director that he'll be best remembered. He made a string of classic films across a range of genres, including the cult mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap, When Harry Met Sally and A Few Good Men, as well as The Princess Bride, Stand By Me and Misery.

Here's a look back at his life through the lens of some of his best-loved movies.

Following his acting stint on All in the Family - where he earned the Emmy Award for best supporting actor twice for portraying Michael "Meathead" Stivic, a 1960s hippy - Brooklyn-born Reiner turned his attentions to directing on the 1974 TV movie Sonny Boy.
