A director of 37 films in 36 years, Steven Soderbergh is a Hollywood filmmaker who has long been ahead of the curve.
Shifting effortlessly between studio movies (the Ocean’s trilogy, Magic Mike), art-house (Che, Kafka) and streaming (Kimi, No Sudden Move), he has also worked in TV (The Knick) and made web dramas (Command Z, Full Circle).
Soderbergh has always had an uncanny ability to stay in tune with the industry: his 2005 film Bubble, which was released in cinemas, on cable and on DVD simultaneously, predicted the future for many films.
As he returns to cinemas with spy thriller Black Bag, we count down his 10 best films to date.
10. Black Bag (2025)
Following tech-thriller Kimi (2022) and ghost story Presence (2024), Black Bag marks Soderbergh’s third – and most fruitful – film with screenwriter David Koepp.
