The world is still reeling from the shocking news of Rob Reiner’s death, who was murdered, alongside his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, over the weekend. It’s hard to reconcile the fact that the Oscar-nominated filmmaker—who told such warm, empathetic, human stories—would come to such a violent end.
As we await more details as to what actually happened, we can still honor Reiner’s remarkable cultural impact on Hollywood. For many, the best way to process the news is by revisiting some of the best Rob Reiner movies over the years.
For me, the first movie on my Reiner watch list is When Harry Met Sally, which many credit as the best modern romantic comedy of all time. (While that on isn’t available on Netflix, you can find on a the premium network, Starz.) But even if you don’t have Starz, there are many Rob Reiner movies on streaming that are available for free, if you have a subscription to that service. You’re already paying so much for streamers per month, so you might as well take advantage of those services. I like to think that Reiner, who always loved an underdog, would understand.
For your convenience, Decider has compiled a list of Rob Reiner movies streaming on Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO Max, Disney Plus and more.

There is no waiting for the movie to get to the good stuff, because it’s all the good stuff. That first banter over an 18-hour car ride, that late-night phone call to watch…
