Name an underrated Rob Reiner movie.
I'll start: Ghosts of Mississippi. I will never forget the scene of Whoopi Goldberg as Myrlie Evers, trying to scrub her husband's blood off the driveway. It stuck with me for years.

The Times obituary included all of his most famous buildings but Frank Gehry also designed something big that moves. Because he loved sailing, Frank designed the most beautiful sailboat in the world. One day he let me take the helm in a Pacific wind so perfect it seemed he designed the wind too.
