I can't say I know much about post-processing, but I do know that I love digital grain. Here's my super basic Lightroom method for getting lots of it without washing out your image: Greyscale your RAW image.  Click here for the full 800x536 image.  Exaggerate the contrast with the Curves menu. We're aiming for the highlights to look alright but the blacks to be totally clipped.   Click here for the full 800x536 image.  Reclaim all that lost data with the Fill Light function.  The result: (I hate the composition on this image but it was a good example for this)  Click here for the full 800x536 image.

I've found using the vignette and messing around with the Vibrance and Saturation (i.e., turning them down) while upping contrast in Lightroom goes a long way toward creating the feel of film. Just keeping it real simple. There's also a lot of harsh on-camera flash being used in Richardson and Teller's pictures, as well. Holding the camera in portrait mode can exaggerate this by creating a slight but distinct horizontal shadow.
