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
Agency (known as Mind Games on video) is a 1981 Canadian thriller drama film directed by George Kaczender. The film was written by Noel Hynd. Based on a novel by Paul Gottlieb, it is a thriller involving creative director Philip Morgan (Lee Majors) who discovers the advertising agency he works for, run by Ted Quinn (Robert Mitchum), is using subliminal advertising to manipulate a senatorial election. It features appearances by Canadian actors Saul Rubinek as a copywriter (earning a "Best Supporting Actor" Genie nomination), Jonathan Welsh as a police detective, and familiar supporting players Michael Kirby and Gary Reineke as hitmen, and Hugh Webster as a prison inmate.
