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.
How it feels
College students compete in an all-night scavenger hunt across Los Angeles. The teams race from one clue to the next while the eccentric graduate student who organized the contest watches from behind the scenes.

What happens
Midnight Madness is a 1980 American comedy film produced by Walt Disney Productions and starring David Naughton in his film debut, Debra Clinger, Eddie Deezen, Brad Wilkin, Maggie Roswell and Stephen Furst. The city of Los Angeles is the game board as five teams of college students attempt to win "The Great All-Nighter", a dusk-to-dawn competition dreamed up by an eccentric graduate student. Adam (David Naughton) and Harold (Stephen Furst) are paired with a grab-bag group of fellow students including Scott (Michael J. Fox, in his first film appearance). The film was directed and written by Michael Nankin and David Wechter, based on real life events as reported in the Los Angeles Times. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
