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
Ghost Dad is a 1990 American fantasy comedy film directed by Sidney Poitier (in his final directorial effort) and starring Bill Cosby, in which a widower's spirit is able to communicate with his children after his death. The film was released on June 29, 1990. Though the film was nominated for three Young Artist Awards, it was panned by critics and grossed just $25 million against its $30 million budget. This was Cosby's final leading role in a feature film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
