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
Rachel and the Stranger is a 1948 American historical film starring Loretta Young, William Holden, and Robert Mitchum. Directed by Norman Foster and adapted by Waldo Salt from the Howard Fast short story "Rachel", it is one of the few films to address the role of women in the early American frontier, as well as portray early America's indentured servant trade. While the film had a low budget, it was RKO's most successful film of 1948, making $395,000. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
