This is probably why 24fps works best...

    Film uses 24fps, and more recently, 48fps and even higher. Timecode in theatrical films is different and very simple — it counts every frame from number 1 to the total number of frames in the movie.

While this is true for editing, an actual 24fps signal (as opposed to a 23.976fps one) isn't always fully compatible with modern displays.  For example, the Total Recall "Mind-Bending Edition" Blu-ray is one of the few discs encoded at 1080p24, and a few people had problems where frames are skipped/dropped: http://www.avsforum.com/search.php?containingthread[]=1406134&output=posts&action=disp&search=24&resultSortingPreference=recency

 

If possible, I think the final release should be at 23.976p.
