No, film should be played back at multiples of 24.000, this requires using Reclock.
It is almost impossible to get a perfect 24/1.001 out of a PC to sync up with files (even though many are 24.000 on the disc) so Reclock is essential for smooth playback anyway.

Any frame drops during film playback are obvious and unacceptable.

My recommendation would be to go for a D-ILA projector. SXRD has longevity issues, and I have never seen a high-end device using "LCoS". (typically cheap pocket projectors or budget models these days)
I have had a 3DTV for about 6 months now. I don't feel that 3D is worth it. Most pre-baked 3D content is not tuned well I feel (wrong convergence/depth) and while I can play games in 3D at 60fps on my new system, after a couple of days of building it and buying the 3DTV Play kit, I haven't gone back to it. By all means buy a projector that supports 3D, but don't choose a specific model
for 3D.
I only have a 3DTV because I
had to get one to get an LED backlit LCD rather than edge-lit. It was a nominal fee to add the 3D glasses, which is the only reason I have a pair.

All good displays flicker. For me, plasma flicker is worse than CRT at the same refresh rate. Even 100Hz plasma is unwatchable to me.
I had a CRT running at 48Hz for quite some time without too much trouble. (but after a long day, I didn't want to watch it)
High end LCDs also flicker using backlight scanning. This is the least intrusive flickering of a display that I have seen, but even then I will sometimes disable it if I feel a headache coming on. (it's rare, but happens maybe once or twice a month)
Actually, most LCDs also have a habit of flickering when you turn the backlight down. It was not a problem with older models, but they do it differently now to save more energy, which results in it flickering. (and a slight buzz from the display many times)
