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
King of Beggars (武狀元蘇乞兒) is a 1992 Hong Kong martial-arts comedy film directed by Gordon Chan, starring Stephen Chow, Sharla Cheung, Ng Man-tat, and Norman Chui. The story is loosely based on legends about the martial artist Su Can (better known as "Beggar Su"), who lived during the late Qing dynasty (c. 19th century) and was one of the Ten Tigers of Canton. The film was one of the highest grossing films at the 1993 Hong Kong box office and among the highest grossing Chinese-language films in Taipei in the same year. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
