Dieselpunk movies, Series, Anime, etc.

Ohhh, I like the sound of that
Matthew de Witte calls it Trenchpunk on his deviantart. I call it an attempt at fixing the ignominy of the actual Great War.
WHY THEN THERE by S. M. Stirling said:
Likewise, the supply of exploits available to a dashing young cavalry officer became sadly limited after 1914. Being machine-gunned at the Somme just isn’t up to the standards of the sort of exploit conveyed by Kipling, Henty, or (in nonfiction) the young Winston Churchill, who participated in one of the last quasi-successful charges by British lancers in 1898, against the Mahdists at Omdurman. Dervish fanatics tend to use plastique these days, rather than swords. Pirates are rather ho-hum Third World extortionists and sneak thieves, rather than characters like Henry Morgan- who was sent home in chains and ended up as governor of Jamaica, after a private audience with Charles II!
Historically inaccurate, but it sure looks cool.

 
Bioshock for sure is, and so are the rest.
It helped me get into the genre pretty well
I prefer atompunk, myself.

Also, you can probably look into some old-ish SF and pulp stuff that has the same aesthetics.

Think Rockteer, the Shadow, Batman, Metropolis.

Arguably Big O might be one, too, if you just look at the aesthetics.

Trenchpunk is just another name for dieselpunk

Reminds me of the aircraft from crimson skies. Neat designs

Pulp and noir are technically part of noir or deco punk, which is more of the city life where as diesel is more of the rvetything else. They work together basically.

Atom punk is nice, I just love the more grueling aesthetics
 
I never played it,but seems nice."Iron Harvest" polish diesel punk game about war in 1920 with mechs.
Totally impossible,but cool.
Here:
 
Adding the Athena Voltaire comics by Steve Bryant and Paul Daly to the recommendations list. Genre throwback to pulp and two-fisted tales.
 
There are some French comics I think fit, will have to find them again
 
Would Disney's Tale Spin count as Diselpunk.

The tabletop game Crimson Skies would possibly count as well.
 
Crimson skies definitely does. It was actually a pretty fun game!
I remember brainstorming a crossover idea combining Ducktails, Talespin and Crimson Skies. Basically set in the mid 30's....it involved Sher Khan's father being released from his cryogenic prison by Don Carnage.
