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
Stanley & Iris is a 1990 American romantic drama film directed by Martin Ritt and starring Jane Fonda and Robert De Niro. The screenplay by Harriet Frank Jr. and Irving Ravetch is loosely based on the 1982 novel Union Street by Pat Barker. The original music score is composed by John Williams, and the cinematography is by Donald McAlpine. The film was marketed with the tagline "Some people need love spelled out for them". It is the final film for the Ritt, Frank and Ravetch trio, as Ritt died ten months after the film's release, while Ravetch and Frank retired after the film's release. It is also the last film in which Fonda would appear for 15 years until 2005's Monster-in-Law. The film was panned by critics and was a box-office bomb. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
