Steampunk Recs
A couple friends of mine are going to be opening a store this summer that has a steampunk aesthetic. The location they're going to be in is fairly heavy on the foot traffic (which they're counting on) and we're looking for ideas for books and/or movies that you might use to illustrate basic steampunk for people who've never heard of it before so that they have things to point to and go 'like this!' on hand when people ask.

Basically, anything that instantly comes to mind when you think 'steampunk'. We're casting our net wide here, so anything you can come up with would be awesome! Thanks!

Edit: Thank you for all the suggestions so far! Also, I've gotten full permission to plug the store in the wilds of the internet, so here is the Otherworlds Store Site.

Wikipedia has a list, including some things that people have talked about: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_steampunk_works

In particular, I remember a really neat steampunk anime movie where the name utterly escapes me, but I know I saw it dubbed because there was a girl with a southern accent in it.

In answer to my own question, Steamboy. It was absolutely awesome, and the girl's hair is what allowed me to figure it out.

Seconding Steamboy! The dub is actually quite mind-blowing, with awesome British Accents and features Patrick Stewart. (Although Anna Paquin's accent is a bit all over the place at times)
