Something that works well along with the Kodachrome-like color profile I posted previously is warming up the shadows a bit, a simple trick to get those rich shadows you yearn for.
In Lightroom, you can warm up your shadows without affecting the rest of the image using the Split Toning tool. Set the Balance to 85, Hue to 40 (a warm yellow), and Saturation to around 23; adjust to taste. That's all there is to it, but it's surprisingly useful.
To make it even easier, I've packaged this as a Lightroom Preset for you, which you can download here.
