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
BMX Bandits (released as Short Wave in the United States) is a 1983 Australian action crime comedy film directed by Brian Trenchard-Smith and starring Nicole Kidman, Angelo D'Angelo and James Lugton. Stephen Vagg of Filmink described it as "perhaps the greatest Australian kids’ film ever, a brilliantly fun and high-spirited heist tale." In the film, a professional band of criminals is given orders to perform a payroll robbery. The law-enforcement-grade walkie-talkies which it intends to use to successfully elude the police are stolen by local teenaged kids, after which the gang is then compelled to pursue the juvenile thieves.
