I would not go to Brugge, the touristyness of it has become overwhelming. I would go to Ghent, which is just as important and lovely a medieval city without the tours.

Wouldn't recommend Brugues/ Brogez/ Brugge/ Bruges post-film, but still love Antwerp. If only for walking around, attending weddings, dancing like a mad thing plus having one's conversations segue between English, French, Yiddish and Flemish frequently. Climbing stairs and taking photos also handy activities.
