You can definitely tell the difference.

The human eye can detect well over 60 fps. Movies look normal at 24fps because of motion blurring. Notice that whenever you see a camera pan in a movie everything is terribly blurry. And if you freeze just about any frame in a movie (where there is noticable movement), you will see whatever is in motion blurred. Games cannot do that, which is why a 24fps movie will look a lot smoother than a 24fps game.
