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
A professional thief in 1930s London is blackmailed by authorities to steal a cache of diamonds from the German embassy. He navigates double-crosses and romances while planning the heist.

What happens
Lassiter (also known as The Magnificent Thief) is a 1984 heist spy film starring Tom Selleck, Jane Seymour and Lauren Hutton. The movie was made to cash in on Selleck's popularity as the character Thomas Magnum in the television show Magnum, P.I., but it failed to return its budget at the box office on release. The Magnum, P.I. connection is perhaps most clearly seen by the movie poster tagline: The Magnum Man Hits the Big Screen with a Vengeance. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
