more grain needed?? {film}

hi
I was wondering if any of you know of any very coarse and very grainy looking film?
It seems as though the whole film market is geared toward the finest grains money can buy but I am interested to find the opposite.
Is there any tricks too that you can do other than push process a film to a higher iso? I know you can crop and enlarge and repeat it in the darkroom to achieve bigger grain but is there any other ways???

thanks in advance for your time
I appreciate it

Kodak T-Max P3200 black and white. It's really about a 1000 speed film that can be pushed to 3200. I use it at 1600 and it's grainy but has a nice look. Ilford Delta 3200 is less grainy and lower contrast. If you're looking for color, I haven't used it personally but Fuji has a 1600 color neg.

If you want more grain than normal, try underexposing it then bring it back in photoshop - you'll have low contrast though.

Agfa Rodinal developer gives very sharp images which have lots of grain. Used with Tri-X it gives images that look clean, brilliant and grainy at the standard 400 ISO. Look at Ralph Gibson's images for an example.

For available light I use Delta 3200 at 1600 ISO in Xtol. It has lots of grain but the tones look rather abrupt.
