How do you get that "old" effect in films?

Like those in old fuzzy movies. I know that is because of now outdated equipment but I’ve seen some of those indie flicks that are filmed like that and thought it would be great for our graduation dance.

We’re going for a faux-1950’s "Best years of your Life" type documentary with the flickering screens, cheesy voice-overs, and stereotypical scenarios (OMG John wants to dance with Jane!!) kinda thing.

Is it some sort of filter or an option?

Thanks!

use a sepia filter and have someone quickly spin something in front of the lens to give that stutter effect.
