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
Gideon's Day (U.S. title: Gideon of Scotland Yard) is a 1958 police procedural crime film directed by John Ford and starring Jack Hawkins, Dianne Foster and Cyril Cusack. The screenplay was by T.E.B. Clarke, adapted from the 1955 novel of the same title by John Creasey (credited under his pen-name "J.J. Marric"). This was the first film to feature a character named George Gideon, but Jack Hawkins had played a similar role in the British film The Long Arm (1956) two years earlier. Gideon was later played by John Gregson in the TV series Gideon's Way. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
