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
Comes a Horseman is a 1978 American Western drama film starring Jane Fonda, James Caan, Jason Robards, and Richard Farnsworth, directed by Alan J. Pakula. Set in the American West of the 1940s but not a typical Western, it tells the story of two ranchers, Frank "Buck" Athearn (Caan) and Ella Conners (Fonda), whose small operation is threatened both by economic hardship and the expansionist dreams of local land baron Jacob "J.W." Ewing (Robards). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
