With a title like that and Argo's Best Picture win, you'd assume this installment would be from that movie. Instead, a brief look at one of the best among the movies Soderbergh has produced (and which Clooney directed).

One of Soderbergh's high points is the trifecta of Traffic, Erin Brockovich, and Ocean's Eleven, three films whose major success made him better-known and sought-after than ever. After these, he did a great deal of producing and ran directly toward something more dangerous and less "safe" in Full Frontal.



A string of commercial failures drove Soderbergh into what he recently referred to as "the Schizopolis grace period". It was one part spirit journey and one part a plunge into the mind of Spalding Gray.
Soderbergh would then jump into the bigger-budget movies, with the one-two punch of an Elmore Leonard adaptation and one of the best revenge pictures I've ever seen.
