I liked the steampunk elements in The Golden Compass but mostly because they were pretty minimal and mostly in the background. The movie version of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is a good example of it as well but the movie thoroughly sucks (but not because of the steampunk).

While not strictly steampunk, I think my favorite title is Diamond Age.
