Seeing as the vast majority of manufactures of the two film and digital put a assortment of diverse functions on their cameras then your question is practically unattainable to answer effectively.
A bit a lot more data on precisely what you are looking to compare might support.

The basic range of functions on a modern digital sl camera is the same as on a film camera – the ability to focus, change aperture and speed etc.. They then go beyond the film camera in having, usually, some sort of anti shake mechanism and, of course, the ability to change ISO at any time without changing the film. I don’t know of anywhere which actual tabulates differences.

good slr film cameras you can adjust iso, shutter, aperture, sync to off camera flash and change lenses
digital dslr do all that and everything else they advertise, so look some up at dpreview .com maybe
compare nikon fm2 with the canon 5d maybe
Edit: things digital has: noise, image stabilisers, “D-lighting” and other in camera processing, alot of automatic features, and more, live face reconition, live view et cetera, more features than one can swing a strobe at

In camera all the rules of photography and the way the camera operates are the same, with one exception, on a film camera to change the ISO you have to change the film, with digital you can increase the sensitivity of the sensor to light by simply increasing the Voltage to it.
Its in the output that things get totally different, first you get virtually instant playback so you can see if you nailed the shot or not at the time.
With film you can print the negatives and that’s about it, once the files are in digital format, you can email them, you can incorporate them into an Audio/Visual presentation, you can include them into text documents, you can post them on the web, you can sell them remotely. You can print your own albums, Oh and you can, of course, print them.
The list goes on and on. It’s the ability digital has to share you’re images in loads of different ways that’s the real revolution.

Another thing that digital SLRs can do that is not done by film: post processing of the images. When you get a jpeg out of a camera, it can have had applied to it such things as: picture style, filter effects, film brand emulation (e.g., Velvia, Ektachrome, etc.), change in contrast, change in sharpness, change in color saturation.
If you shoot in raw mode, however, the result is very similar to a film negative or slide in the sense that you will post process it, which is analogous to dark room work.
