In a magazine that I have there is a comparison shot between a 1Ds MkII at ISO200 and some Canon body loaded with ISO200 film. Same lens and shot parameters
The 1D looked much better. It was less noisy and more detailed. Bye bye average film. Ok, it wasn't Kodak tech-pan super high res film, but most people that carry on about film being so superior don't use films like that anyway.

So unless you use special films, the arguments for film are price (1Ds MkII is sort of expensive ) and highlight blowout performance.

I have even seen reputable photographers suggest that photos from old 4 megapixel DSLRs like the D30 and D60 appear to be of a higher quality than film due to the lack of noise. Resolution isn't everything, unless photographing newspapers from long range is your kind of thing.
