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
Million Dollar Mystery (also known as Money Mania) is a 1987 American film released with a promotional tie-in for Glad-Lock brand bags. This was the final feature-length film directed by Richard Fleischer and shot by Jack Cardiff. It starred an ensemble cast of "America's new comic talent", including Eddie Deezen, Rick Overton, Rich Hall, Pam Matteson, Peter Pitofsky, Greg Travis, Mack Dryden, Jamie Alcroft, and Kevin Pollak. The film was largely inspired by Stanley Kramer's 1963 screwball comedy film It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. Dar Robinson, a stuntman, died on November 21, 1986, after riding his motorcycle off a cliff while attempting to do a stunt during the production of the movie. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
