The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
The Great Meadow is a 1931 American Pre-Code Western film, produced and distributed by MGM with direction by Charles Brabin. The film starred Eleanor Boardman and Johnny Mack Brown. It is based on the novel The Great Meadow by Elizabeth Madox Roberts, which is similar in theme to Drums Along the Mohawk by Walter D. Edmonds, which was later made into the 1939 film of the same name directed by John Ford. MGM filmed The Great Meadow in a widescreen format called "Realife". However, it is unclear whether it was released in that widescreen process due to declining interest of the movie-going public. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
