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
Two policemen who have not made any arrests worry about losing their jobs. To prove their worth, they start making up crimes to report.

What happens
The Boys in Blue is a 1983 British comedy film directed and written by Val Guest and starring Tommy Cannon, Bobby Ball, Suzanne Danielle and Roy Kinnear. It is loosely based on the 1939 Will Hay film Ask a Policeman, which Guest co–wrote. It was the final feature film that Guest directed. The film is about two policemen who have failed to make any arrests and are threatened with dismissal; they begin to invent crime to justify their existence. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
