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
Chain Lightning is a 1950 American aviation film. The screenplay was written by Liam O'Brien and Vincent B. Evans, who had been a bombardier on the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress Memphis Belle during World War II, based on the story "These Many Years" by blacklisted communist writer Lester Cole (under the pseudonym J. Redmond Prior). Cole's credit on the film was officially restored by the Writers Guild of America in 1997. The film stars Humphrey Bogart as a test pilot along with Eleanor Parker and Raymond Massey. It is one of Bogart's final Warner Bros. films, ending a 20-year association. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
