"Let's stop calling them 'films'."
Follow Ups:
explored film versus digital from the point of view of the film makers. There was a wide disparity. Some absolutely love the digital technology and believe it leads to a better film, for various reasons, including the ability to film for long periods without changing film canisters and the ability to see what has been shot without a night development delay. And there were others who just feel that film has better dynamic range and a better look. Even the film enthusiasts say that recent generations of digital cameras have gotten much better. But it's a pretty balanced view- no easy conclusion that one is "better" than the other.
And also there is a big resurgence of camera film.
Right now, the cinema's can't really offer much better than what you can do at home. In most cases, what you do at home will be better sounding and better looking.

Is that like the "big" resurgence in vinyl. Perhaps Kodak threw in the towel too soon. How many film cameras are being sold in comparison to digital cameras? More than a blip and rounding error?

Best I can tell, film availability creeps along at a slow pace to keep hobbyists supplied.
But photography is about 95% commercial, and those making a living with cameras ain't getting all nostlagic about it. Game over.
Industry.
I seem to recall that CD gave the music business an economic boost as LP sales were declining and had already be surpassed by cassette. That would make the case is CD saved the music industry.
-Wendell
NO. It gave it a boost because it was convenient and it was hip. But it did kill the essence of music. Even it finally did get better sounding only to be replace by more skeletons like MP3.
Vinyl is living very happily and growing. No wonder it sound like music.
In fact the music( what is left ) of it seems surprised at the renaissance..
clicks and SKIPS ( the Worst! ) on everyone, no more for me.
The few that I got in the past year were better than I knew vinyl could be. Much better than my older original ones. The dynamic range compression on some like Raising Sand (not a re-issue) is a different story.
Some pick up are more sensible than other as you know at picking up noises.
I love vinyl but I think it is just silly to say CD killed the essence of music. CD gave a needed boost to the industry. Vinyl is and will forever be a fringe format. The majority of young listeners don't care and they will outlive us.

Quality will always remain quality. And CD never will. And any way CD ´s are dead.
So, Patrick, what do you imbibe?
Acetate.

The only way to experience Nights of Cabiria is in a smoke-filled theater with an overpowering smell of sweat and the projector noise, sitting on a wooden bench.
Second best is a 6" B&W TV... this is how I saw it for the first time.
and show a flash when the reels change over. Throw in some jitter and nobody will know the difference.
Quentin Tarantino has taken it a step further: threatening to retire, seeing none of the cinematic culture he fell in love with in the DCPs that grace our multiplexes; vehemently disappointed that so few moviegoers were able to see “Django Unchained” the way he had intended it.
Maybe we could keep movies digital until Tarantino retires and then go back to film.

Oh... the cliffhanger!!!
It just seems kind of silly to me: directors of such dreck as the new Star Trek and Fast and Furious 6 playing up the conceit that film is truer to their artistic vision! LOL! OK - if they say so! ;-)
Just how those CGI-laden movies could possibly be done using traditional film techniques. The fact of the matter is that 80% of the actors' time is spent in front of a green screen "acting" in front of a blank (to them) canvas.
And how using film to capture this decidedly digital performance is claimed to be an improvement is a mystery to me...
