Here's everything Steven Soderbergh watched (and read) in 2022

Of course, there is one constant in Soderbergh's list: his love of reality TV. The filmmaker's most-watched title wasn't a prestige show or classic movie, but the TV show "Below Deck," which has been on his list for a few years. The Bravo reality show follows a charter yacht crew, and Soderbergh once described to Rolling Stone how he became addicted to the show's approach to problem-solving at work.

Perhaps the most surprising thing about the list, however, is that one of his most-watched films of 2022 was the 1977 film "Sorcerer" (seen above), directed by William Friedkin. The film follows a group of outcasts carrying dynamite out of a South American village as they sweat nitroglycerin. Although the film was poorly received when it was released, it has gained fans over the years, and that would appear to include Soderbergh, who watched the film three times last year. Could he inform about an upcoming movie or show he has in the works?

Elsewhere, the listing reveals that Soderbergh is more polite than critics who use Letterboxd, as he doesn't feel the need to humbly brag about being able to watch movies early writing "embargoed" under each movie he logs before publication. For example, he watched "Magic Mike's Last Dance" - and presumably its 30-minute dance finale - a total of five times during the year.

Best of all, Soderbergh was lucky enough to have seen David Fincher's new film, "The Killer". The film is set to reunite the director with "Se7en" screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker and follows Michael Fassbender as an assassin losing his grip on reality. Soderbergh has not only seen the film before, but he saw it four times in the space of a single week in August. The only other time Soderbergh saw so many great movies in such a short time last year was on Dec. 10, when he watched "The Menu," The Fabelmans, and "Decision to Leave" in one single day.
