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
Glory! Glory! is a 1989 satirical comedy film directed by Lindsay Anderson and starring Ellen Greene that originally aired on HBO in two parts. The film was Anderson's second American production. In the film, a radio preacher's operation is covertly controlled by his son. When the father finds a more skilled (and less honest) talent agent to promote his act, he severs all ties with his son. The son has the idea to turn a female rock and roll singer into the televangelist and faith healer Sister Ruth. Her act is a success, but her craving for cocaine and her sexual promiscuity are threatening her reputation. Investigative reporters find out that Ruth had an abortion, and a church leader uses the information to blackmail her. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
