Don't go to a movie theater. They call it "moving pictures" when they sell you the ticket, but it is only 24 frames per second, and the individual frames don't move. Bogus.

Movies have motion blur which smooths out the judders of a low framerate

In addition, human eye can detect flicker better in a bright room, vs a dark one. That's why movies can get away with 24 fps, and not something higher.

That said, you don't need 60fps to enjoy what you're watching unless you're playing games.
