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
Mystic Pizza is a 1988 American romantic comedy-drama film directed by Donald Petrie in his feature directorial debut, set in the coastal town of Mystic, Connecticut, and starring Annabeth Gish, Julia Roberts, and Lili Taylor. The film follows the coming-of-age of three young Portuguese-American waitresses at the titular pizza parlor. It received positive reviews, with Roger Ebert writing, "I have a feeling that Mystic Pizza may someday become known for the movie stars it showcased back before they became stars. All of the young actors in this movie have genuine gifts." It also marked Matt Damon's film debut. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
