  duplicate layer,
  filter / noise ... add noise (gaussian / monochrome)
  blur top layer a little bit, then reduce opacity slightly.
  every image will need a slightly different amount of noise and blurring. It will also depend on whether it's being printed or viewed on screen.
  It helps to know what real film grain looks like on a darkroom print, and not what film grain looks like when it is scanned. They're totally different in appearance.
