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 Sky Is Falling, also known as Las Flores Del Vicio (English: The Flowers of Vice), released in the United States as Bloodbath, is a 1975 horror film directed by Silvio Narizzano, written by Gonzalo Suarez, and starring Dennis Hopper, Carroll Baker, Richard Todd, Faith Brook, and Win Wells. The plot follows a group of hopeless American and British expatriates living in a Spanish village where citizens are dying mysterious deaths after the arrival of a strange religious cult. The film has been characterized as an example of the frenetic roles played by Hopper in the 1970s. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
