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.
How it feels
A businessman loses his personal organizer. A prisoner who just escaped finds it and poses as the businessman. He then moves into the man's house and causes trouble with his work.

What happens
Taking Care of Business (theatrically released in the United Kingdom as Filofax) is a 1990 American comedy film directed by Arthur Hiller and starring James Belushi and Charles Grodin. It is named after the song by Randy Bachman, recorded by the Canadian rock group Bachman–Turner Overdrive. The film is also known for being the first screenplay written by J. J. Abrams, who would make several blockbuster films, including Super 8 and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The film follows a work-obsessed businessman who loses his Filofax, which is found by a recent prison escapee who assumes his identity, moves into his home, and proceeds to mess up his business dealings.
