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 Graduate is a 1967 American romantic comedy-drama film directed by Mike Nichols, adapted by Buck Henry and Calder Willingham from Charles Webb's 1963 novella. It stars Dustin Hoffman, Anne Bancroft, and Katharine Ross. The film follows Benjamin Braddock (Hoffman), a recent college graduate who is seduced by an older married woman, Mrs. Robinson (Bancroft), but falls for her daughter, Elaine (Ross). The soundtrack was recorded by Simon & Garfunkel, and featured the hit single "Mrs. Robinson". Produced independently and distributed domestically by Embassy Pictures, The Graduate was released December 21, 1967. It grossed $104.9 million in the United States and Canada, making it the highest-grossing film of 1967 in North America. Adjusted for inflation (as of 2021), its gross is $857 million, making it the 22nd-highest-grossing film in the United States and Canada. It received seven nominations at the 40th Academy Awards, with Nichols winning for Best Director. In 1996, The Graduate was selected for preservation in the U.S. National Film Registry as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". The American Film Institute ranked it the 7th-greatest American film in 1997 and the 17th-greatest in 2007. It is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential films ever made.
