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

『喜劇急行列車』（きげききゅうこうれっしゃ）は、1967年の日本映画。『東映列車シリーズ』の第1作。 渥美清演じるおっちょこちょいだが人情味あふれる車掌を軸に、特別急行列車の乗客たちが起こす様々な騒動を描いた喜劇映画。渥美が後の当たり役"男はつらいよの寅さん"そのものを演じる。監督はプログラムピクチャーの名手・瀬川昌治。 旅行のツールとして人々の楽しみを提供した高度経済成長期の鉄道の役割を象徴するような作品で、日本国有鉄道（国鉄）の製作協力により、駅や走行中の列車でのロケーション撮影が多く取り入れられている。寺脇研は「鉄道の歴史を辿るという点でも意義深い作品」と評価している。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
