The Princess Bride director spoke with Piers Morgan back in September about which of his films he wanted to be most remembered by."Well, I mean, listen, people have their favorites. [It's] the cliché, 'We love all our children, even the bad ones,'" Reiner replied before adding his 1986 coming-of-age drama, Stand By Me.

"I don't know that it's the best - that's for other people to decide - but it's the one that meant the most to me because it really is an extension of my personality and my sensibility," Reiner stated."It has a mixture of humor and melancholy and emotion, and it's something that is closest to me of all the films I've done," he continued.
