I've worked in film, and used high-end HD cameras that support both 24p and 60p (the Panasonic VariCam HD Camera actually supports any frame rate up to 60p). And it is true that 60p has a wonderfully smooth playback, and looks absolutely alive and lifelike on screen -- but that's a blessing or a curse depending on what you are filming and the mood you are trying to convey in a movie. If you are filming sports and want a "live" feel with perfectly accurate images then yes 60p is awesome. On the other hand, if you are filming a cinematic movie, and trying to tell a STORY then you want to "blur time" a bit and hide oddities and imperfections in actors movements. 24p does just that, and creates a surreal effect that is mostly subliminal, but highly effective. When you see side-by-side footage of both 24p and 60p of the exact same movie scene, the 24p footage looks less awkward in many places during an actor's performance. 60p shows you TOO MUCH temporal information -- great for porn, sports, and news... no so great for story telling.
