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
L'esorciccio (internationally released as The Exorcist: Italian Style and The Exorciccio; the title puns on "Ciccio," a hypocorism of Francesco) is a 1975 Italian Horror comedy film written, directed, produced and starring Ciccio Ingrassia. A parody of William Friedkin's The Exorcist (1973), it is the second and last film directed by Ingrassia after Paolo il freddo (a parody of Paolo il caldo). In the film, an amulet of Beelzebub is located in Iran. Once transported to Italy, it causes the spirit possession of a mayor's son. Following a rape performed by the possessed boy, an exorcist is summoned. The evil spirit keeps changing host bodies, and eventually possesses the exorcist himself. The exorcist vanishes at the film's end. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
