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
Has Anybody Seen My Gal [sic] is a 1952 American comedy film directed by Douglas Sirk and starring Piper Laurie, Rock Hudson, Charles Coburn and Gigi Perreau. It is loosely based on the 1918 novel Oh Money! Money! by Eleanor H. Porter. The film leans heavily on period detail from the 1920s, such as flappers, the Charleston and raccoon coats. It is named after the jazz song "Has Anybody Seen My Gal?", which was a hit for the California Ramblers during the 1920s. Although the song is sung during the film, its lyrics have no particular relation to the plot. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
