I gave up film when Kodak stopped developing it. I was finding the cost of buying film going up, plus harder to find the type I wanted. I got a digital SLR. Admittedly, I miss my film camera, though generally, the digital can do more (like easily adapt to different light sources, motor drive, good auto focus/auto exposure, time/date stamp, and instant view.) I think film handled high contrast situations better than digital. A friend offered me his old Nikon F, a real classic, but I realized I'd have no use for it and it would just gather dust, so I declined. Note--last time I checked, the chain drugstore still sold Tri-X, even though Kodak no longer makes processing chemical or print paper. Kodak also has a Kodachrome magazine: https://www.kodak.com/US/en/kodachrome/default.htm However, I tried finding still film on their website but couldn't.
