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
The Square Peg is a 1958 British war comedy film directed by John Paddy Carstairs and starring Norman Wisdom. Norman Wisdom plays two different characters: a man who digs and repairs roads, and a Nazi general. It was the last of six collaborations between Norman Wisdom and director John Paddy Carstairs. Producer Hugh Stewart, who made several films with Wisdom, argued this was the actor's best movie, along with On the Beat and A Stitch in Time. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
