If you force film mode it won't deinterlace interlaced content. In most cases, deinterlacing being turned on when it's not needed won't have any negative effects (particularly with hardware deinterlacing), whereas not deinterlacing an interlaced clip will make it look like arse.

Therefore, leaving it on auto is usually the best thing to do:

You can check whether deinterlacing has been turned on for a particular video by pressing CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + D.
