''[[The Fabulous World of Jules Verne]]'' (1958) and ''[[The Fabulous Baron Munchausen]]'' (1962), both directed by [[Karel Zeman]], have steampunk elements. The 1965 television series ''[[The Wild Wild West]]'', as well as the [[Wild, Wild West|1999 film of the same name]], features many elements of advanced steam-powered technology set in the [[Wild West]] time period of the United States. ''[[Two Years' Vacation (film)|Two Years' Vacation]]'' (or ''[[The Stolen Airship]]'') (1967) directed by [[Karel Zeman]] contains steampunk elements.

The [[BBC]] series ''[[Doctor Who]]'' also incorporates steampunk elements. Several storylines can be classed as steampunk, most notably ''The Evil of the Daleks'' (1966), wherein Victorian scientists invent a time travel device using mirrors and [[static electricity]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/episodeguide/evildaleks/detail.shtml|title=BBC Doctor Who Classic Series|publisher=BBC|access-date=16 December 2013|archive-date=6 January 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140106023449/http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/episodeguide/evildaleks/detail.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref> During season 14 of the show (in 1976), the formerly futuristic looking interior set was replaced with a [[Victorian era|Victorian]]-styled wood-panel and brass affair.<ref>{{cite web|title=TARDIS builders|url=http://tardisboard.proboards.com/thread/1396/season-14-wooden-console|access-date=16 December 2013|archive-date=12 July 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150712034209/http://tardisboard.proboards.com/thread/1396/season-14-wooden-console|url-status=live}}</ref> In the 1996 American co-production, the [[TARDIS]] interior was re-designed to resemble an almost Victorian library with the central control console made up of an eclectic array of anachronistic objects. Modified and streamlined for the 2005 revival of the series, the TARDIS console continued to incorporate steampunk elements, including a Victorian typewriter and [[gramophone]], for many years.

''[[Dinner for Adele]]'' (1977) directed by [[Oldřich Lipský]] involves steampunk contraptions. The 1979 film ''[[Time After Time (1979 film)|Time After Time]]'' has [[Herbert George Wells|Herbert George "H.G." Wells]] following a surgeon named John Leslie Stevenson into the future, as John is suspected of being [[Jack the Ripper]]. Both separately use Wells's time machine to travel.

''[[The Mysterious Castle in the Carpathians]]'', (1981) directed by [[Oldřich Lipský]], contains steampunk elements.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.thespinningimage.co.uk/cultfilms/displaycultfilm.asp?reviewid=12593|title=Mysterious Castle in the Carpathians, the Review (1981)|access-date=2020-02-27|archive-date=2019-11-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191120005735/http://thespinningimage.co.uk/cultfilms/displaycultfilm.asp?reviewid=12593|url-status=live}}</ref> The 1982 American TV series ''[[Q.E.D. (U.S. TV series)|Q.E.D.]]'' is set in [[Edwardian period|Edwardian]] England, stars [[Sam Waterston]] as Professor Quentin Everett Deverill (from whose initials, by which he is primarily known, the series title is derived, initials which also stand for the Latin phrase ''[[quod erat demonstrandum]]'', which translates as "which was to be demonstrated"). The Professor is an inventor and scientific detective, in the mold of [[Sherlock Holmes]]. The plot of the [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] film ''[[Kin-dza-dza!]]'' (1986) centers on a [[desert planet]], depleted of its resources, where an impoverished dog-eat-dog society uses steampunk machines, the movements and functions of which defy Earthly logic.

In making his 1986 Japanese film ''[[Castle in the Sky]]'', [[Hayao Miyazaki]] was heavily influenced by steampunk culture, the film featuring various airships and steampowered contraptions as well as a mysterious island that floats through the sky, accomplished not through magic as in most stories, but instead by harnessing the physical properties of a rare crystal—analogous to the [[lodestone]] used in the [[Gulliver's Travels#Part_III:_A_Voyage_to_Laputa,_Balnibarbi,_Luggnagg,_Glubbdubdrib_and_Japan|Laputa]] of [[Jonathan Swift|Swift's]] ''[[Gulliver's Travels]]''—augmented by massive propellers, as befitting the Victorian motif.<ref>[[Castle in the Sky#Influences]]</ref> The first "Wallace & Gromit" animation ''[[A Grand Day Out]]'' (1989) features a space rocket in the steampunk style.{{citation needed|date=July 2018}}

''[[The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.]]'', a 1993 [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox Network]] TV science fiction-Western set in the 1890s, features elements of steampunk as represented by the character Professor Wickwire, whose inventions were described as "the coming thing".<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.slantmagazine.com/house/2010/06/a-fistful-of-geek-a-look-back-at-the-adventures-of-brisco-county-jr/|title=A Fistful of Geek: A Look Back at The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.|first=Andrew|last=Orillion|magazine=[[Slant Magazine]]|date=June 8, 2010|access-date=April 20, 2020|archive-date=February 3, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140203100737/http://www.slantmagazine.com/house/2010/06/a-fistful-of-geek-a-look-back-at-the-adventures-of-brisco-county-jr/|url-status=live}}</ref> The short-lived 1995 TV show ''[[Legend (TV series)|Legend]]'', on [[UPN]], set in 1876 Arizona, features such classic inventions as a steam-driven "quadrovelocipede", [[Night-vision device#Other technologies|trigoggle]] and [[night-vision goggles]] (à la teslapunk), and stars [[John de Lancie]] as a thinly disguised [[Nikola Tesla]].{{Citation needed|date=October 2017}}

The 2004 film ''[[Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events]]'' contains steampunk-esque elements such as costumes and vehicle interiors. The 2007 [[Syfy]] miniseries ''[[Tin Man (TV miniseries)|Tin Man]]'' incorporates a considerable number of steampunk-inspired themes into a reimagining of [[L. Frank Baum]]'s ''[[The Wonderful Wizard of Oz]]''. Despite leaning more towards [[Gothic fiction|Gothic]] influences, the "parallel reality" of Meanwhile, City, within the 2009 film ''[[Franklyn]]'' contains many steampunk themes, such as costumery, architecture, minimal use of electricity (with a preference for gaslight), and absence of modern technology (such as there being no motorised vehicles or advanced weaponry, and the manual management of information without computers).

The 2009–2014 [[Syfy]] television series ''[[Warehouse 13]]'' features many steampunk-inspired objects and artifacts, including computer designs created by steampunk artisan Richard Nagy, a.k.a. "Datamancer".<ref>{{cite web|title=Warehouse 13: Steampunk TV|url=http://closetscifigeek.com/2009/08/16/warehouse-13-steampunk-tv/|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120709032830/http://closetscifigeek.com/2009/08/16/warehouse-13-steampunk-tv/|url-status=dead|archive-date=July 9, 2012|work=closetscifigeek.com|author=Stephanie|date=August 16, 2009|access-date=October 2, 2009}}</ref> The 2010 episode of the TV series ''[[Castle (TV series)|Castle]]'' entitled "Punked" (first aired October 11, 2010) prominently features the steampunk subculture and uses [[Los Angeles]]-area steampunks (such as the [[League of STEAM]]) as extras.
