Rob Reiner's Films: The Secret Language of Movies

A new special on Turner Classic Movies examines the lasting impact of director Rob Reiner. Host Ben Mankiewicz will explore Reiner's celebrated career. The program argues that Reiner's films have become a common reference point for audiences. His work is known for blending comedy and drama. Films like "When Harry Met Sally..." and "The Princess Bride" mix humor with a deep faith in human connection. This combination, Mankiewicz suggests, is why the movies remain so influential. They form a shared cinematic language for millions of viewers. The special will air this month on the classic film network.
