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
Black Gunn is a 1972 neo-noir blaxploitation crime film directed by Robert Hartford-Davis and starring Jim Brown as the title character, a nightclub owner who gets caught up in a conflict between a Black power organization and the American Mafia. The film co-stars Martin Landau, Brenda Sykes, Luciana Paluzzi, and baseball pitcher-turned-actor Vida Blue in his sole film role. The film differs from many blaxploitation films in that it was an international co-production (between Columbia Pictures and British producer John Heyman), and was made by a non-American director. It premiered in the United States on December 20, 1972. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
