Just saw Spielberg's "Munich" a 2005 film but they did something in the color correction to make it look like it was filmed back then in the late 70's!

How can I achieve that 80's/70's look with color correction/Photoshop?

I am also an amateur video editor, I use FinalCut Pro on my Apple power Mac. There is a color correction tool but I dont know what to do to achieve that affect.

Does anyone know how to achieve that look with Photoshop or any other program?

Mild orange filter. Very muted. Odd contrast really. There a a rash of TV commercials showing here right now shot like this.

The look gets tired after 20 seconds.
