| Crono said: Maybe not 120hz, but I don't think anyone here will argue if I say I can tell the difference between 30fps and 60fps. Depending on the source, I can tell the difference between 60fps and 75 fps. You probably can too. Try messing with your monitors refresh rates and see if you can notice a difference between 60 and 75 hz.
120hz TV's are a step toward different technology that can utilise 120hz. Technolgies like full frame stereoscopic displays (on a single screen).

Personally, I can recognize differences in games up to ~75-80fps. Beyond that, and there's no visible difference to me and anything over 60fps is just fine.
The stupid thing about 120 hz is that nothing will utilize it. For gaming purposes, companies will push technology and if they're easily hitting 90fps, they'll probably up the resolution, improve textures, do something to make the game look better because it's obvious they have headroom to spare tech-wise. Anything over 60fps is generally considered overkill by developers.
As for TV and movies, they will always be 24 fps, making 120hz pointless. Movies will stick to it because of tradition, installed hardware (theatres and whatnot), and because an improved framerate offers them little advantage.
TV won't do it because of the pipeline needed to deliver more than that. Besides, they wouldn't benefit much from it, either.
