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 Nanny is a 1965 British psychological horror thriller film directed by Seth Holt and produced by Hammer Film Productions. It stars Bette Davis, Wendy Craig, and Jill Bennett, and was adapted by Jimmy Sangster from the 1964 novel of the same name by Evelyn Piper (a pseudonym for Merriam Modell). The film was scored by Richard Rodney Bennett and shot at Elstree Studios. The story follows a disturbed 10-year-old boy who returns home from a residential school after being blamed for the death of his younger sister. He becomes convinced that his family's long-serving nanny, who appears caring and devoted, poses a deadly threat. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
