Default Does anyone else still shoot with film?

Just wondering.

My son is taking a photo class in college, using B&W film, doing his own developing and printing. He's using the camera that I bought for MY photo class in college, 30mumble years ago! (A Canon AE-1) He's really loving the class and making his own prints. The kid has a good eye for composition, too.

So I'm curious if anyone else out there still uses film and/or does their own darkroom work. I'm thinking of helping Alex set up a small darkroom in our guest bathroom. We have a long counter in there and no windows. The only light leak would be the door, itself, and I could hang a curtain over the door to solve that. We have a local camera shop that (I think) has all the chemicals he would need, but I'm not sure they carry all of the other supplies. I'm finding a few decent websites, though, and figured I'd share. I've been to the first one, in Chicago, and it's wonderful!
