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
Garden of Evil is a 1954 American CinemaScope Western film directed by Henry Hathaway about three somewhat disreputable 19th-century soldiers of fortune, played by Gary Cooper as an ex-lawman, Richard Widmark as a gambler, and Cameron Mitchell as a bounty hunter, who, along with Vicente, played by Víctor Manuel Mendoza, are hired by a woman (Susan Hayward) to rescue her husband (Hugh Marlowe), who is trapped in a collapsed mine. Rita Moreno appears at the beginning of the film as a Mexican cantina singer/dancer. Director Hathaway took special pains to use the stunning vistas of the Mexican locations to show off the CinemaScope screen dimensions to best effect. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
