I think all of those films go under the "accidentally steampunk" category. And The Anachronism was gorgeous! I'd love it to be longer.

Those are definitley good for the category. I especially like the prestige. How could you go wrong with a movie about competing magicians with Nikola Tesla in it?  |

i'm glad you liked it! i love it too! its very cute and almost has a 'notalgic' feeling It really does have a nostalgic feeling to it, very well made! The Prestige is one of my favorite films, on the brink between steampunk and dieselpunk. (I'm thinking about the use of electricity here). I'd have to say some of the Doctor Who episodes are steampunk. Especially "The Giel in the Fireplace" with Madame de Pompadour and the clockwork men. http://www.huxter.org/dwfun/clockwork-man-head.jpg |

That is one of my favorite episodes. I think it's the second best episode, the first being blink.

The first episode I saw was the WWII episodes in season 1. It really freaked me out, which made me like DW so much. Blink is my fave episode too, it's so creepy!
I find that some literature that features the Victorian era easily becomes accidentally steampunk. It mostly happened before steampunk was a well known genre. Can't think of any books now of course! Ah well, it'll come to me later.

Going back to the topic of Doctor Who, let's not forget 2010's Christmas Carol episode. If I remember correctly, there were an awful lot of people romping around in goggles, and the control panel inside the...main building seemed rather steamy to me.
Plus, Air sharks. Kinda up there with air krakens, though not really.

I feel like that would be the most epic sky battle ever!
And then the Doctor just sits on a roof and watches, I feel like he would do something like that. But he would stop it eventually. Maybe. Hopefully. Most likely before that battle escalated into somethin city destroying.

At the weekend, The Countess and I watched a film called 'Bathory' starring Anna Friel as the eponymous 16th Hungarian countess, Erzebet Bathory, who allegedly bathed in the blood of virgins in order to remain youthful looking (and is in the Guinness Book of records rightly or wrongly..as the biggest female mass murderer/serial killer of all time). The film, made in the former Czech Republic (so we have some stunning scenery..and locations..convincing East European accents) is an interesting interpretation of the story..if a little long..but I quite enjoyed it.
However there are a couple of characters in this, monks acting as spies, who have an array of wonderful 'clockpunk' gadgets. First we see them putting on their three wheeled rollerskates. Later these skates are converted into wind up clockwork snow shoes that actually propel the wear through snow and up slopes with minimum of effort. Later they set up a contraption consisting of a wooden frame with two globular containers of water that is either meant to be some form of early camera or telescope We see them eaves dropping on conversations too far away to hear with a clever variation of the 'two cans and a bit of string' toy. Finally we see one of them leap off a cliff wearing a devise that unfurls like a Da Vinci-esque parachute.
Wonderful stuff...

Accidental?
Before 2006 almost anything Steampunk related was accidental if it had, cogs, gears or weird contraptions. A few exceptions but not many
I think its some how the other away around and Steampunk, as the genre is today, is the result of these 'accidents'. It is rather an eclectic meta culture after all.

I have a feeling that the "accidental steampunk"may just be true steampunk slipped in by someone on the film crew secretly trying to show his (or her) true steampunk colours

Just a theory, of course, but there may be a touch of steam in each of us. |
