I just tried to bend my CMOS sensor around a film spool, and can confirm. Film is more flexible... More seriously it does depend on your definition of flexible. Being able to switch speeds (ASA numbers) without having to replace the film or carry multiple cameras is a huge flexibility win for digital all on its own.
