I have dslr, rangefinder and m43...they all have their purpose.
Get some $$ together and buy a rangefinder.
But I'd rec the Fuji Pro or an oldy Epson RD1s. Film is dead pretty much. But if you want film, hate your digital gear, then sell it and do it.
You must be on a different planet if you think film is dead, i know photographers that shot film went digital and went back to film because it is too clean and plastic looking, plus they are getting more work with film
It depends on what you are doing as to whether or not you can shoot film or not and be profitable as a professional photographer in this day and age. I often wax poetic about film, but I know the writing is on the wall for the meat and potatoes photographer. If you think the photo journalist of today is going to be shooting film like they did 15 years ago there is fail in that though process because publishers want things 5 minutes ago in the 24 hour Internet news cycle.
Now if you are talking fashion, automobiles, iphones, or anything else, and you are an in demand artist shooting magazine covers then by all means you can shoot film till they stop making it which by my best guess is 10 to 15 years from now. You dont have to agree but I am betting its so.
I would love to have a digital range finder or even one of the Leica Digiliux 2 or 3 cameras. I think they care pretty neat machines. I see a niche for the digital rangefinder
I shot a roll last night, from getting home to scan it was 30 minutes for small res
