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

The Devil's Rain is a 1975 supernatural horror film directed by Robert Fuest. The ensemble cast includes William Shatner, Tom Skerritt, Ernest Borgnine, Eddie Albert, Ida Lupino and Keenan Wynn. John Travolta makes his debut film appearance in a minor role, and Church of Satan founder Anton LaVey is credited as the film's technical advisor and also appears in a minor role. The film centers around the Preston family, who are involved in a generations-long curse brought upon them by Satanic priest Jonathan Corbis (Borgnine). An international co-production between Mexico and the United States, the film was shot in Durango, Mexico and at Estudios Churubusco in late 1974. It was released in the United States on August 7, 1975. The Devil's Rain received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics, though it has developed a cult following. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
