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

Shock Treatment is a 1964 American neo noir drama film directed by Denis Sanders and written by Sydney Boehm, based on Winfred Van Atta's 1961 novel of the same name. Taking place in a mental institution, starring Stuart Whitman, Carol Lynley, Roddy McDowall, and Lauren Bacall. As one of many post-Psycho films dealing with insanity, Bacall disliked the film intensely, calling it the worst of her career despite its cult following in later years. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
