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
Happy New Year is a 1987 American crime comedy film directed by John G. Avildsen and starring Peter Falk. The screenplay was written by Nancy Dowd (credited as "Warren Lane"), based on the French film Happy New Year (1973). The director of the French film, Claude Lelouch, has a cameo as a man on a train. Although the film had extremely limited success in the theaters, it became something of a cult film. It was nominated for an Academy Award in 1988 for Best Makeup, losing to Harry and the Hendersons. Bill Conti composed the score and produced a cover of the song "I Only Have Eyes for You" performed by The Temptations which was featured extensively throughout the film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
