Film vs digital - telling the difference

I don't know if this is on topic. I can delete if it isn't.

There is an ongoing movement for movies to be recorded in digital instead of film. There are various pro's and con's, and it causes controversy among some cinema goers and some directors. That's not the main thrust of my question -

If I'm watching a movie a home, on a 1080p HDTV and a blue ray player, could I see the difference between something originally recorded on film, or are those differences erased in the conversion to the home - viewing format? Would I have I go to a theater that showed analog films to see the movie as the director intended?
