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.
How it feels
A disfigured composer haunts the Paris Opera House, secretly coaching a young soprano and terrorizing those who stand in his way. The story follows the consequences of his obsessive love and the desperate measures he takes to be heard.

What happens
The Phantom of the Opera is a 1962 British horror film directed by Terence Fisher and starring Herbert Lom, Heather Sears, Michael Gough and Edward de Souza. The screenplay was by Anthony Hinds (as John Elder) loosely adapted from the 1910 novel of the same name by Gaston Leroux. The film was made by Hammer Film Productions but was a financial disappointment. The British prints were in Technicolor, while the U.S. prints were in Eastman Color. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
