I think Serenity is closer than you might think. Take a look at the ship....Moa anyone? The whole deadspace bit with the fleets jumping in on top of each other was very blobtastic. Anyway, I move on, yes, Space above and beyond had the whole clone underlying theme. Star Trek has the faction element, Star Wars was way too ground based to be applicable.
Carlsberg dont make Eve Pilots, but if they did, i wouldnt be one of them.

The movies which have a similar feeling or atmosphere, to me, are:
Alien (Quick, hire H.R. Giger to create a few Amarr ships!)
Bladerunner
Empire Strikes Back

Return of the Jedi- for the space battle
Episode III- for the space battle
Ice Pirates- show a raise of hands of those that have actually pirated ice.
Battlestar Galatica is a good show but the only time you see decent space battles seems to be season beginnings or season finales. People will chose it as default since its the only current sci-fi thing going.
That and I'm still ****ed they used the name but didn't even bother staying close to the original concept. Eh...Starbuck. Blah...Starbuck and Baultar. Baultar ON Starbuck? Ewwwwwwww!!! BRING BACK DIRK BENEDICT!

Immortel
Wing Commander
Stop trying to trick people into clawing their eyes out while stabbing pens through their eardrums.
For a good representation of Alliance recruiting practices and fleet combat doctrine, I would recommend Gallipoli.
And, of course, there's always The Straight Story, David Lynch's film adaptation of the Innominate Nightmare saga.
In vanilla-land, Firefly > Serenity, but both are good, and are very Eve-like. Just mentally substitute "Veto" or "BoB" (to taste) every time you hear "Reaver".
What? Immortel was the last word from the devs on what movie inspired them or they thought most EVElike.
Wing Commander is a crap movie, still the combat scenes there and the usage of torpedos not to mention the jumpqueue with kilrathi ships getting wasted one at a time jumping in a long stream is very much EVE. 
People thinking themselves lameass Billy The Kids in space explains a good deal. Now if there only were vampires you could all be Space Buffy!

Granted the nasty ugly movie-rapiers looked kinda minmatar-rific, unlike the awesome original rapier design... but man... that movie was *almost* as bad as Battlefield Earth.
I cried when I saw the big stupid ruber Kilrathi outfits.
And while Serentiy is cowboys in space yes, it also reminded the most of eve out of any spacey-type movies I could think of. A lone ship flying around doing its own business against a bigger backdrop of goings-on in the universe. Pretty EVE-like imo.
Maybe Battle Beyond the Stars a little bit too... sorta like a bunch of corps getting together to gang up on an alliance or something :P
And Ice Pirates yeah... I know eve has Space Herpes, and you can catch them from Wierd Beard.

Early '80s BBC one of christmas special called "Stainless Steel and the Star Spies"
If you haven't seen it, you haven't lived. It's quite clear that CCP have obviously seen it, as much of this game draws from it as inspiration. Obviously they probably won't admit that here as it probably breaches copyright laws.
If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire...The ENP-Team. |

Silent Running.
Makes me think what a freighter pilot feels like..:)
 Wouldn't really say it's EVE-like or anything, but a great movie anyway, I have it on DVD
Hard to say what I'd think is EVE-like... but perhaps Farscape comes closest from series. After all there's the "evolved humans far away from home" thing, where they don't even know their origins. Firefly does have some similarities in the feel of it, but otherwise the world itself is not really alike. BSG is awesomeness, but also a bit too low-tech for EVE, and doesn't have enough racial variety for EVE-ish feel.
Oh well, all good stuff regardless, so doesn't matter if they're alike with something or not

About Dune: Can someone give me a hint what DVD version is the best out there? There are like ?6? and I have no clue which is best. (considering the quality, "uncutness", bonus material)
You guys would really help me a lot with a few hints.

Come on folks, you gotta know it's Dune! The spice (or minerals) must flow!
The Dune mini series and children of Dune, yes. But not that convoluted travesty given to us by David lynch.
The Dune miniseries was a far greater travesty than the glory that is Lynch; however, I assume they fired everyone in the higher echelons of production, because CoD was as near perfect as one could expect a translation of Dune Messiah and Children of Dune to film could be.
Still not getting the beardless Stilgar or lack of stillsuits, but meh. :p
At any rate, yes, Dune. I'm waiting for our giant sandworm God Emperor to be released with Kali. Then we can laugh at the Gallente and their silly 'president'.

Hello
Tomorrow we will live an EVEless day.
Could it be a good opportunity to watch an EVEish film?
I mean, a film which evoques perfectly the atmosphere and overall spirit of EVE.
Or even better, a film that in fact COULD be in the EVE universe :)

Wing Commander, definately.
I ran across it on cable the other night, and though it's a crappier movie than I would usually watch, it was Eve, right down to the unstable worm-hole that they took to get where they were going. Since it was a 1999 movie, I wonder if it was actually one of the inspirations for the game.

Doubt that, but it was a pretty good movie for the budget it had. Nowadays you can get more bang for the buck with CG than back then (Battlestar Galactica, anyone?). It was cool seeing Wing Commander on the big screen, even with the utterly horrid compositing.
For example, watch the battleship destruction scene, with the point blank torpedo hits. The explosions show off some really disgusting compositing work. Still a pretty cool scene though, and sounded awesome in the theater.

Wow, really? How so? I don't remember much ship-to-ship combat in either one of those movies. Wing Commander was really really similar though. The tactics, the weaponry, fighting in astroid belts, whole nine.

Wing Commander is a great example how a poor director can ruin a film that has great premise. Back then, Wing commander was still a pretty good franchise and Chris Roberts had made a name for himself with the games, but unfortunately he can't direct a film to save his life. Wing Commander had good sets and CG effects, was bsed on a rich background story and had some very talented actors in it. No, not Freddie Prinz Jr. It also features one of my all-time favorite film scores. The overture and theme for the opening credits are simply stunning.

Not so much the ship to ship combat, but the look of the ships and the ambiance of the movie.
