Just my opinion, but here's what I think...
It's not really about resolution - a typical frame of 35mm film has something like 13-15 million grains, so let's say film is 15 "megagrains". So less than your 20MP+ camera, and about the same as a good DSLR has in terms of pure resolution. To me the difference between film and digital is not that simple though. Film simply responds differently to light than a digital sensor and which you prefer is down to personal preference.
Give me two really good, well shot images, one film and one digi, and 8 times out of 10 I'd probably prefer the film image. Add in the convenience and sheer number of shots you can take with digi though, and the odds of getting a good shot are much higher with digital. Swings and roundabouts really - I still have a soft spot for film myself, but I've been in the business (
not as a photographer, I should add!) for a long time and there may be hint of rose tinted specs going on
If you're interested in film as a medium, take a look at
