Dear Lejon, 

Here are several: 

Master of Lightning (2000)  
PBS/Warner production. Based on a biography. Available in VHS format.
See for example at Amazon:
<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000051SHA/ref=ase_imdb-adbox/103-9166435-9170242?v=glance&s=video>

"Nikola Tesla" (1977)
A TV series, produced in the former Yugoslavia. Available in VHS and
DVD, for example at Amazon:
<http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00014NEIK/103-9166435-9170242?v=glance&n=130> 

The Secret of Nikola Tesla (1979/1980) 
A fiction film from the former Yugoslavia (original name: Tajna Nikole
Tesle). Available for purchase as DVD or VHS.
<http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000083C6E/103-9166435-9170242?v=glance&n=130>

Nikola Tesla: The Genius Who Lit the World 
Documentary 
<http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00014NEIK/103-9166435-9170242?v=glance&n=130&%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance>

Nikola Tesla: Life and Times of a Forgotten Genius (2000)  
<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1893943011/qid=1131294435/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/103-9166435-9170242?v=glance&s=video>
- documentary. Might be the same as the former title.

Tesla - Tripping the Light Electric (2000) 
A short film produced by Smokebrush. Try to contact them on their site
for information regarding availability.
<http://www.smokebrush.org/tesla.htm> 

The Visionary * - (*Tesla) (2005)
Produced by Dedalus Media and currently in production. As with the
former title, try to contact them for information on purchase/watching
the film when released.
<http://www.dedalusmedia.com/thevisionary.html> 

Charged: The Life of Nikola Tesla (2005) 
In pre-production. You can see the website and get updates there at: 
Tesla Movie
<http://www.teslamovie.com/> 

IMDB reports on two additional films, both from former Yugoslavia, but
unfortunately, I haven't been able to find out how to get them:

Tesla ili prilagodjavanje andjela (2001)  
<http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0288842/> (original title also:
"&#1058;&#1077;&#1089;&#1083;&#1072; &#1080;&#1083;&#1080;
&#1087;&#1088;&#1080;&#1083;&#1072;&#1075;&#1086;&#1106;&#1072;&#1074;&#1072;&#1114;&#1077;
&#1072;&#1085;&#1106;&#1077;&#1083;&#1072;").

Tesla '76 (1977)
<http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0318743/> 

I hope this answers your question. Please contact me if you need any
clarification on this answer before you rate it. My search term was
[tesla] on IMDB.

There is an old American TV series called "Science in Action", which
had an episode about Tesla.
See:

The Tesla Museum might have more on their store, but they are not
revealing their catalogue online:
