A friend of mine does film production for video.  The commercial industry is
using 30 fps film for video transfer.   Your other reasons (deleted for space
considerations) are definately valid for theatrical release.

There is (and has been demonstrated) a "Hi-Fi" film format (I forget the name)
that uses FILM at 60 FPS.  Results are said to be startling.  I would like to
see it, at least once.
