"That or why not shot movies in either 30 or 60fps?"
Because then they wouldn't look like movies. ;)
Aesthetics aside, the biggest hurdle against doing this with film has been added cost. Or maybe it was because you lose the PAL markets for video. OK, it's complicated.
Even with digital acquisition, imagine doing a CGI heavy feature. You're effects budget would go up along with the frame rate.
I'm still holding out hope for 48fps features somewhere down the line, though.
