Steampunk Films Top 10
Steampunk films are set in a past era (or in a world resembling the past), in which technological discoveries occurred earlier in history than they really did and were accomplished using the science already present in that time period.
Much of steampunk is set in Victorian-era settings, in a world where steam power and clockwork is the norm.
That's a pretty general description of what it's all about, as "Steampunk" means different things to different people and encompasses a wide scope including literature, art, design, fashion and even a whole "lifestyle" subculture.
Although originally conceived as being Victorian-era science fiction only, the term "steampunk" has become common use for many related forms of "speculative fiction" set in the pre-Electric age.
Such rich imagery and scope has resulted in some fantastic and visually stunning films.
Here's my own personal Top 10 Steampunk movies. Each of my choices are followed with film trailers so you can have a look for yourself!
You may not agree with my choices of course, if not, please feel free to comment, vote for or add your own personal favourite Steampunk movie choices or suggest other Steampunk films I may also like!

Van Helsing (Full Screen Edition)
Amazon Price: $5.99 (as of 11/29/2009)
Van Helsing (2004)
Starring: Hugh Jackman, Kate Beckinsale
Director: Stephen Sommers
Based on the character "Van Helsing" from Bram Stoker's novel Dracula, the film uses characters from other works such as Mr Hyde, The Wolf Man and Frankenstein in an entertaining blend of gothic fantasy.
Van Helsing is a monster hunter who works for the Vatican. He is sent to Transylvania to destroy Dracula so that the captured souls of an ancient family called Velarius can be freed.
Meeting the last of the Velarius family, a young woman called Anna, Van Helsing and his group are repeatedly attacked by the vampire brides of Dracula. Meanwhile Dracula himself has captured Anna's brother who is a werewolf and is experimenting on him in his laboratory.
Aided by Frankenstein's Monster (who has never forgiven Dracula for killing his creator Dr Frankenstein), Van Helsing must overcome repeated danger in order to help Anna and her family.
Enjoyable, action packed and full of great steampunk special effects - for instance the gas powered multi bolt firing crossbow used by Van Helsing is a perfect example of a steampunk weapon!

I don't need to say any more...nothing is more steampunk than Nemo and The Nautilus!

Visually stunning with a dark Gothic Neo-Victorian feel and plenty of laughs along the way

The Allies raid the camp where the ceremony is taking place, but not before a demon (later named "Hellboy"), has already been come through the portal. Joining the Allied forces, Hellboy eventually grows to adulthood, serving the cause of good rather than evil.
However, the world hasn't seen the last of the evil Rasputin...and it's up to Hellboy to save the day!
Purists may prefer to describe Hellboy as "dieselpunk" rather than "steampunk", but whatever label you stick on this film, it's full of "mad science", tentacled monsters and glorious special effects

The Time Machine
Amazon Price: $11.49 (as of 11/29/2009)
The Time Machine (2002)
Starring: Guy Pearce, Jeremy Irons
Based on the novel by H. G. Wells about a Victorian inventor who dabbles in time travel.
When the girl he loves is killed, scientist and inventor Alexander Hartdegen resolves to travel back in time to change the events that led up to her death. He succeeds in his aim, only to witness her die again, this time caused by a different sequence of events. Realising that he cannot ultimately change fate, he decides to travel forward in time to see what lies in the future.
Eventually after a few stops along the way, Hartdegen arrives 800,000 years in the future to find that civilization has devolved to a hunter-gatherer lifestyle. Calling themselves the Eloi, the survivors of mankind have built their homes into the side of a cliff on what resembles Manhattan. Falling in love with an Eloi woman called Mara, Hartdegan discovers that the Eloi are hunted for food by a race of creatures called Morlocks and he is forced to use his scientific knowledge and his time travel capabilities to save the Eloi.
Great adaptation of a classic story - The "Victorian scientific" setting and time-machine sequences are wonderfully steampunk!

9. Sleepy Hollow
Steampunk Movies - Sleepy Hollow
Sleepy Hollow
Amazon Price: $10.99 (as of 11/29/2009)
Sleepy Hollow (1999)
Starring: Johnny Depp, Christina Ricci
Director: Tim Burton
In 1799, police constable Ichabod Crane is sent to the village of Sleepy Hollow, to investigate a series of murders in which the victims have been found decapitated. A big fan of innovative investigative techniques such as finger-printing and autopsies, Crane arrives in Sleepy Hollow with his bag of scientific tools only to be informed by the inhabitants that the murderer is not human, but is instead, a headless undead spectre riding a black horse who terrorises the neighbourhood at night...can Ichabod's forensic approach solve the mystery or will the supernatural horseman prove a match for science?
This is a Tim Burton film and as such, is by definition stylised and more than a little on the "gothic" side, Ichabod's "investigative devices" are quite definitely steampunk though...

Amazon Price: (as of 11/29/2009)
The Adventures of Baron Munchausen - 1989
Starring: John Neville, Eric Idle, Jonathan Pryce, Oliver Reed, Uma Thurman, and Robin Williams.

The fantastic tale of a reknowned teller of "tall stories", Baron Munchausen. Munchausen is a man who simply cannot help "embroidering" reality. He has gained a reputation as a liar, but when he meets a little girl who truly believes in his legendary exploits, he is inspired to live up to his reputation in order to help her and her home town which is being besieged by the Turkish army.
The quest to save the day involves a variety of adventures including a trip to the moon in a hot air balloon, an encounter with the the Goddess Venus and her husband Vulcan, being swallowed alive by a sea-monster and a first hand encounter with death.
Cult classic "either love it or hate it" film. Set a little earlier than the usual Victorian steampunk era, but no less steampunk for that!

More Great Steampunk Movies
So, that's my own personal top 10 steampunk films listed above...but that could change.
Here's a few more great movies in the steampunk genre which I haven't got round to seeing yet, but which have been acclaimed by other Steampunk fans!
The City Of Lost Children
Steampunk Movies - The City Of Lost Children
The City of Lost Children
Amazon Price: $18.49 (as of 11/29/2009)
The City of Lost Children (1995)
Starring: Briac Barthelemy, Guillaume Billod-Morel
Director: Marc Caro
The plot revolves around a mad scientist, Krank, who lives in an old oil rig off the coast of a surreal Dickensian French city. Krank does not have the ability to dream, and as a result he is prematurely old.
In order to supplement his dream deficit, Krank kidnaps young children in order to study and extract their dreams. Unfortunately for Krank, this scheme fails as the experience of being kidnapped and manipulated by the wicked Krank is so traumatic that the children have no "normal" dreams - only nightmares.
What makes this film "Steampunk" is Krank's "Mad Science" including a sinister cult of blind men called "Cyclops" who he uses to perform the kidnappings. In return for giving up their sight, the cult members are given a mechanical "third eye" (called an "Optacon") and a device which makes their hearing supersensitive. ..
I haven't seen this film, but so many people rave about it as a magnificent example of steampunk, that it's definitely on my "must see" list

Steamboy is set in England in 1866. Young Ray Steam receives a Steam Ball, a mysterious, powerful device, from his inventor grandfather. Governments and businesses covet the Steam Ball, and Ray finds himself in a murderous conflict over its possession. He's also caught between his father, a 19th century Darth Vader who builds terrible weapons for an American arms merchant, and his grandfather, who believes science should improve people's lives.
Another film I haven't yet seen. I'm not much of a fan of anime, but this one sounds intriguing and is highly regarded by many steampunk enthusiasts...

Wild Wild West (1999)
Starring: Will Smith, Kevin Kline
Director: Barry Sonnenfeld
Sinister inventor Dr. Arliss Loveless, plans to rekindle the Civil War by assassinating President Ulysses S. Grant. Gunfighter James West and master-of-disguise and inventor Artemus Gordon team up to thwart his evil plans.
Based on the 1960's TV series, the film features highly advanced steampunk technology and many bizarre mechanical inventions, including nitroglycerine-powered penny-farthing bicycles, spring-loaded notebooks, bulletproof chainmail, flying machines, steam tanks, and a giant mechanical spider!
Considered to be awful by critics...but what do critics know! It sounds entertainingly steampunkish, so I'll keep a look out for it...

Dark Portals: The Chronicles of Vidocq
Amazon Price: $13.49 (as of 11/29/2009)
Vidocq is a 2001 film starring Gerard Depardieu. It takes place in a steampunk version of 19th century Paris, pitting the historical figure Eugene Francois Vidocq, the French criminal, spy and pioneer private detective, against a supernatural serial killer called The Alchemist.
This film has been described by an Amazon reviewer as "...like watching a dream and a nightmare on speed... a cross between the Matrix, Moulin Rouge and From Hell...visually stunning and very freaky." ...sounds fabulous and this is one I DEFINITELY must see!

Time After Time [VHS]
Amazon Price: (as of 11/29/2009)
In late 19th century England, writer H.G. Wells (Malcolm McDowell) unwittingly includes Jack the Ripper (David Warner) in his social circle. When one of Wells's dinner parties is crashed by the police looking for the Ripper, Jack uses the author's time machine to escape. Having escaped however, The Ripper finds himself stranded in another era when the machine automatically returns itself to H.G Wells' time.
Wells feels duty bound to track down Jack The Ripper before he can inflict his evil nature on the unsuspecting inhabitants of another time period and he eventually finds himself in modern-day San Francisco on the trail of his murderous former friend...
Amazon describes this as "Director Nick Meyer pays homage to George Pal's vision of The Time Machine complete with Jules Verne style production design." I've seen other very complimentary reviews of this film, so it's one to look out for!

Atlantis - The Lost Empire
Steampunk Movies - Atlantis - The Lost Empire (2001)
Atlantis - The Lost Empire
Amazon Price: $16.49 (as of 11/29/2009)
Animated action-adventure set in 1914. A Disney film (!) but with a difference - this one uses the artistic style of comic book artist Mike Mignola.
The film tells the story of a linguist who gains possession of a sacred book which he believes will guide him to the mythical city of Atlantis. He enlists an anachronistic band of archaeologists and excavators to find the city, but struggles against mutineers who want to sabotage the mission for their own profit.
Inspired by Jules Verne's "Journey to the Centre of the Earth", Amazon describes the film thus;
"Atlantis offers some nifty battle scenes, including an attack on a Jules Verne-esque submarine by a giant robotic trilobite and fishlike flying cars."
Disney animations stopped ticking my boxes years ago, but I must confess to being intrigued by this one...

Definition Of Steampunk
Steampunk isn't easy to define precisely, but here's what Wikipedia says...
Category: File - :Kyle-cassidy-steampunk.jpg|thumb|A steampunk-themed photo-illustration
Steampunk is a sub-genre of fantasy and speculative fiction that came into prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. The term denotes works set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used?usually the 19th century, and often Victorian era England?but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy, such as fictional technological inventions like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, or real technological developments like the computer occurring at an earlier date. Other examples of steampunk contain alternate history-style presentations of "the path not taken" of such technology as dirigibles, analog computers, or digital mechanical computers (such as Charles Babbage's Analytical engine); these frequently are presented in an idealized light, or with a presumption of functionality.
Steampunk is often associated with cyberpunk and shares a similar fanbase and theme of rebellion, but developed as a separate movement (though both have considerable influence on each other). Apart from time period and level of technological development, the main difference between cyberpunk and steampunk is that steampunk settings usually tend to be less obviously dystopian than cyberpunk, or lack dystopian elements entirely.
Various modern utilitarian objects have been modded by individual artisans into a pseudo-Victorian mechanical "steampunk" style, and a number of visual and musical artists have been described as steampunk.

I think the city of lost children is possibly the ultimate steampunk movie but the The League Of Extraodinary Gentlemen is a much better film than its reviews merit.
