Cheeky Actress Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Wow! What a great laptop, Joe Pyrat. Thanks for the link. I'll have to check out that site for more finds. Member of "The Forsaken" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Pyrat Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Mistress Lilly, this guy does excellent work but it is quite expensive. However based on the amount of work involved I would have to say his prices are not unreasonable. The Charles Towne Few - We shall sail... The sea will be our empire.

hellfirehannah Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Would The Golden Compass be considered? It seems to me to be steampunkish, though it certainly has its fair share of fantasy elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascabel Posted April 25, 2009 Author Share Posted April 25, 2009 I just watched another good one last night..... "Island at the Top of The World". Really great steampunk-looking airship in it, and a pretty neat story line. >>>> Cascabel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lazarus Gage Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I had no idea you guys were into this stuff. I've loved "Steampunk" since I was a kid, just didn't know it had a name until quite recently. You might also get a kick out of Treasure Planet I have to say...that is the coolest laptop I have ever seen, and on another note....I LOVE TREASURE PLANET. If you couldn't tell by my avatar In my humble opinion the interpretation of Silver in Treasure Planet is one of the best I have ever seen. But I must point out that no one has mentioned one of the coolest steam punk cartoon television series' ever....Tailspin. Tailspin was probably the first thing I remember seeing that would qualify as steampunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rats Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Both my kids and I love Treasure Planet!! We've been watching that Long before steamers became an interest. They thought it was just a nice cross between piracy and sci-fi. I was just happy to have something we could watch together!! Though not really steamer.... Check out the Kurt Russell movie SOLDIER. I mostly like it because of the look of the scavengers and such. No rest for the wicked! Wait a minute... that's me?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuisto Mako Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 The Time Machine (1960)Directed: George Pal Rod Taylor Alan Young Yvette Mimieux I know that Rumba had already beat me to it, but I really like this particular version. Now I'm not sure that either one of the next two quite fall in the Diesel or Steampunk genera, but they both have wonderfully bizarre sets and twisted gadgetry made from an odd mix of old and new tech. La Cité des Enfants Perdus (1995) City of Lost Children Directed: Marc Caro & Jean-Pierre Jeunet Briac Barthelemy Guillaume Billod-Morel Brazil (1985) Directed: Terry Gilliam Jonathan Pryce Kim Greist Robert De Niro Katherine Helmond Michael Palin La cité des enfants perdus is very very steampunk to me and been my favorite movie for many years. The looks of that movie is so unique it is a must see movie! You can not go wrong with a fishtank brain with big brass side horn and the voice of Jean-louis trintignant.

Graydog Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Why am I sharing my opinion? Because I am a special snowflake who has an opinion of such import that it must be shared and because people really care what I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captjustinkase Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I can't believe nobody said Wild Wild West, and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (tho it is a little lame). I agree with moth movies above. I personally liked League as I felt it kep to the feel of the graphic novel. I did not like the addition of Tom Sawyer though, and Sean Connery was perfect as Alan quartermain. I remember a show back in 2000/2001 The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne. I liked this show and it definately fell into this genre. I also wanted to bring up the movie Wanted (2008). While the movie itself was not Steampunk, whom here does not want one of the modified semi auto flintlock guns, or the sniper rifle musket?

Bloody Bill Flint Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I'm not sure if this truly qualifies, but I've always loved the movie Time Bandits. It's got time travel and mixing of cultures, especially in the final battle against evil, and what's not to love about a movie that stars a criminal organization composed entirely of little people? THIS CABIN-LAD'S GROWN HAGGARD, SO IN THE POT HE GOES AND FROM HIS SKIN WE'LL MAKE A LITTLE DRUM TO BEAT AS WE FIRE HUMAN HEADS FROM CANNONS AT OUR FOES. AND SET THE SEAS ABLAZE WITH BURNING RUM.

Blackbead Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Although it is a HORRIBLE movie, actually ranks close to number one of worst movies I have ever seen, the Timothy Hines' version of "The War of the Worlds", http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0425638/, is an attempt at a faithful rendition of Wells' novel. The film is set in 1895 and tries, in vain, to present a version that is period correct. I bought a CD of this flick and proudly display it as "the worst movie I own." If a few more million dollars was spent on it then it might be a good Steampunk movie. TO give you an idea of how bad it is, when they show people riding in a wagon or carriage up close, the majority of the shots show slack reins and it is obvious there are no horses pulling the vehicle. The long shots show these TERRIBLE CGI horses pulling the wagon. And the CGI Thunderchild scenes are so bad as to be laughable! 5-inch, open guns firing without crews. The water flowing in the wrong direction. As Leonard Plinth-Carnell would have said, "Deliciously bad!"

Karadimos Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 (edited) The Assassination Bureau (1969) is a great movie that seems to have been forgotten. I'm also a big fan of the version of Metropolis (1927) that was revamped in the 80s and set to new wave music + Giorgio Moroder soundtrack. Also, Time After Time (1979) starring Malcolm McDowell. Edited June 9, 2010 by Karadimos I'm trying to set up a real Pirate-themed town...somewhere. I need some help with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Eye Mitch Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Another on e Rumba beat me to, but I have to blab about it anyway. The Great Race (1965) Director: Blake Edwards Tony Curtis Natalie Wood Jack Lemmon Peter Falk Keenan Wynn Natalie is such the little hottie in this movie - OMG - *sigh*. But Jack Lemmon & Peter Falk steal the show comedicly while Tony and Keenan play the proverbial straight man hero types that anchor the silliness. And then there's all the cool Steampunky vehicle stuff, cars, a submarine, airship - I've loved this movie since I was a kid.

Admiral Kilo Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Last Exile is one my brother likes, he says it is Steampunk by definition. Even the guns are steam powered. I'm about to look it up for myself. Admiral Kilo hath spoken.
