Wow, 4 pages and nobody has come up with:
Film only (barely) works at 24fps because each frame from a camera is taken over a finite range of time and is intrinsically motion-blurred. Game frames are perfectly sharp and need a much higher frame-rate to look smooth.
Hell, certain film passages when viewed on a big screen (like at the cinema) aren't smooth at all. Depends on the material.
@Droidhacker: I'd be very surprised if you actually watched an FPS game running at 24 frames/sec on a large-ish monitor and couldn't tell that it looked bad. It's really not a philosophical point for videophiles to mull over, it's just how it is.
