My gamer buddy just suggested BattleStar Galactica, He said certain episodes gave him some Traveller inspiration. I would have to agree.
Each of these flicks have aspects that are Traveller in some way or another, at least to me. I'll add more in later.
What share the rest of you?

Uh...yay. You just said all of the ones I can think of.
I like the ships in The Fifth Element. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119116/
Serenity goes good, but could be seen a an extention of Firefly. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0379786/
Very goofy, but Galaxy Quest has something for the lighter side. Mid tech people thrown into a high tech life is interesting. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0177789/
Red Planet. Prejump drive, but some tech of higher levels. Being an American film, the spend too much time on the stupid romance though. IMO anyway. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0199753/
Natural City I really like too. It has a nice setting of a low/mid tech level planet with slums with some high tech stuff tossed in. I just don't understand why people insist on comparing it to Blade Runner. If you have not seen this movie, put it in your head that it and Blade Runner are totally different films and you should not expect Blade Runner. You would probably enjoy it then. If you go into it thinking Blade Runner, you will probably not like it. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0378428/

I am currently watching Earth 2, a 21 episode TV series. Very Traveller like colony situation. You can stream it off Netflix currently.
I REALLY liked Pandorum, despite the reviews. Sci-Fi just doesn't get the love does it?!?!?!
Cursed by the Gods
Pandorum was good. Earth 2 was a series that could have been great.
