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 Quick Gun is a 1964 American Techniscope Western film directed by Sidney Salkow and starring Audie Murphy. It was the second of four films produced by Grant Whytock and Edward Small's Admiral Pictures in the 1960s. The film's screenplay was based on Steve Fisher's short story The Fastest Gun that had previously provided the story for two other Westerns, Top Gun (1955) starring Sterling Hayden and Noose for a Gunman (1960) starring Jim Davis and Ted de Corsia as the villain, both for United Artists. Fisher at this time was also providing the screenplays for a series of A.C. Lyles's second-feature Techniscope Westerns for Paramount Pictures. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
