Why do we care about Frames Per Second so much?

For me personally, so long as the game isn't going 1 MPH and is maintaining a nice speed with a smooth frame rate, I couldn't care less what FPS rate it actually has, but it seems the rest or a very large amount of the community wants 60 FPS or nothing at all. Why do we want this? Does it really make a difference how fast frames are going by in a game so long as it still works and plays well and isn't moving at the speed of a turtle with an anchor tied to it?

    Find a friend with a decent 120hz tv. Throw on a blu-ray. You notice how it looks like a soap opera? How smooth it looks compared to that pos you've been watching movies on? That is what 30fps vs 60fps is like. Only worse. There have been alot of great fps that have come out and failed horribly, because it runs at 30fps, which translates directly to how the controls feel. Turok to name one.
