Steven Soderbergh’s next film, Side Effects<\/i> hits theaters tomorrow. But if the director can be believed, it will also be his last film. In recent interviews<\/a>, Soderbergh has made clear his distaste for the Hollywood system and its treatment of directors. Although Soderbergh still has a film in the can waiting to be released (an HBO movie about Liberace), he plans to retire from filmmaking after Side Effect<\/i>‘s release and focus on painting instead.<\/p>\n

It’ll be a shame. Soderbergh leaves behind a prolific body of work with a startlingly wide range. The director has helmed films from the star-studded blockbuster caper Ocean’s Eleven<\/i> and male stripper opus Magic Mike<\/i> to taut political satire series K Street<\/i>. You might recognize several of his movies without knowing that he directed them.<\/p>\n

Given Soderbergh’s abundant and quality filmography, we have quite a few of his films in our collection. Come watch a few to send out a film career for the ages.<\/p>\n
