I agree it's the setting up that helps to re-create a film look more than anything, fortunately for me my subject of choice doesn't really benefit from over effecting video to try and make it look like film much.

But, one thing I will do is try to remove the harshness that video has, it's edgy bittyness. For this, depending on what you're after, take the finished edited film, import it into a fresh project, copy it onto another track, to the copy apply Gaussian blur anywhere between 5-20 %, then reduce the opacity to around 10%. This allows the original sharp image to keep definition intact, but adds a sort of softness by reducing grain a touch. Desaturating the colour can help with the effect, but I usually want full vibrant colours. Re-render the whole thing for the final effect.

Some experimenting with the settings needed as usual. but it does go a long way to helping video look less like, er, video.

Btw, I tried using 'film look' features on several video cameras which sell you this as a bonus, only to find them utterly useless for fast moving subjects, particularly on single CMOS cameras (we're talking Canon HV's here), so better to capture things as neutrally as you can imho, and leave the effecting to post.
