24hz has a very noticible flicker, so most theaterrs play back movies at 48hz minimum or 72hz - basically just repeating a frame.
At the moment, most of the 120hz tvs on the market are actually doing a poor job of handling 24hz (aka, converting to 60hz), but things should improve with time. Then again, there are a couple sets that actualy have a 48hz mode specifically for film.
