You'll find many discussions about your question if you search the forum.

Short answer:

"Force FILM" uses the MPEG2 metadata to eliminate the frames with blended fields from the precedent and antecedent frames. It can be used whenever the metadata description matches the telecined frames. Doom9 recommends using it whenever 95% of the content matches -- FILM 95% or above.

You will most often see the percentage at 99% or below, as most of the production and distributors' leaders are not Telecined. I use the "[" button and start my preview at the main content, to avoid being mislead by leaders.

When the metadata cannot be used, then an Inverse Telecine such as DeComb or GreedyHMA must be used. I find that the content will determine the filter set and parameters, and must experiment with .avs script output to see which looks best.
