Steven Soderbergh Chronicles Every Movie He Watched In The Past Year

By Neil Upton / June 25, 2011

Beginning in March 2010, Steven Soderbergh decided to document his cultural diet for the year, noting down everything he watched and read, the results of which have just been made public. Taking in almost a hundred movies, 50 books and several tv shows, Soderbergh also found time to finish shooting two movies, Haywire and Contagion. Put's us to shame, right? The list, which is also dated and organised was given to Studio 360's Kurt Anderson and reveals busy viewing days, possible favourites and no less than 20 viewings of his new film Haywire, 5 of The Social Network (none of the other Oscar noms get a look in!), and several Raiders of The Lost Ark, in black and white! And if he sticks to his retirement plans in the near future, god knows how large this list may grow. Here is the list of just the movies he devoured and in the order he watched them;
