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
Two Gentlemen Sharing is a 1969 American-British drama film directed by Ted Kotcheff, starring Robin Phillips, Judy Geeson, Esther Anderson, Hal Frederick, Norman Rossington and Rachel Kempson. It was written by Evan Jones based on the 1963 novel of the same name by David Stuart Leslie. Ted Kotcheff called it "the best film of what you might call my British period" and felt "it had a negative statement. It said that whites and blacks can't get along, mainly because we have too many misunderstandings, too many illusions and myths about each other." He felt this hurt it commercially as "people wanted an upbeat statement about the brotherhood of man." The film was not theatrically released in the UK. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
