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 Mark is a 1961 British drama film directed by Guy Green, produced by Raymond Stross, and starring Stuart Whitman, Maria Schell, Rod Steiger and Brenda De Banzie. It is adapted by Sidney Buchman and Stanley Mann from a 1951 novel by American writer Charles E. Israel. The film concerns a convicted sex offender trying to rebuild his life after a prison sentence (Whitman), but is suspected in the sexual assault of a child. The film's controversial subject matter limited its commercial prospects, though it was generally well-received by critics. It was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the 1961 Cannes Film Festival, and Stuart Whitman was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
