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.
How it feels
A man who believes he is Sherlock Holmes is committed to a mental institution. A psychiatrist tries to reason with him but finds herself drawn into his delusion.

What happens
They Might Be Giants is a 1971 American comedy mystery film based on the 1961 play of the same name (both written by James Goldman) starring George C. Scott and Joanne Woodward. The play opened at Stratford East in 1961, and closed after only four weeks. The film's title was later adopted as the name of a popular music group. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
