I hate to say it, but the genre is perilously small and bad when it comes to film, I think. Actual Verne- and Wells-based material tends to be one's best option, though the recent "Time Machine" movie proved that even this was not reliable. For whatever reason, it seems to be much more difficult to pull off on film than in writing.
It's also my humble opinion that the genre gets treated better by animated stuff than by live-action film. We are anxiously anticipating the release of SteamBoy (http://www.steamboy.net/intro.shtml), should it ever actually arrive in the US.
