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
Terror Circus (also released as The Barn of the Naked Dead and Nightmare Circus) is a 1973 American exploitation horror film which is directed by Alan Rudolph, and starring Andrew Prine, Manuela Thiess, Sherry Alberoni, Gyl Roland, and Sheila Bromley. It follows three showgirls who are kidnapped in the desert by a psychopath who imprisons women in his barn near the former site of a nuclear disaster. The film's director and writer is credited as Gerald Cormier, the name of a stunt man and head of the film's distributor, CMC Pictures. Some sources indicate that Cormier's name was a pseudonym for Rudolph. According to actor Prine, however, Cormier himself was one of two other directors hired to shoot the film before Rudolph took over directorial duties. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
