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 Killers (also known as Ernest Hemingway's "The Killers") is a 1964 American neo-noir crime film directed and produced by Don Siegel, from a screenplay by Gene L. Coon. It is the second Hollywood adaptation of Ernest Hemingway's 1927 short story, following the 1946 film. It stars Lee Marvin, John Cassavetes, Angie Dickinson, and future president Ronald Reagan in his final film role before formally retiring from acting in 1966 to embark on his political career. The film was originally produced as a made-for-television film for NBC, but was instead given a theatrical release by Universal Pictures. It premiered on July 17, 1964. Marvin's performance earned him the BAFTA Award for Best Foreign Actor (jointly for his role in Cat Ballou). At the time of release, Marvin said that it was his favorite film.
