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
Maverick is a 1994 American Western comedy film directed by Richard Donner, and starring Mel Gibson, Jodie Foster, and James Garner. The screenplay by William Goldman, based on the 1957–1962 television series of the same name created by Roy Huggins and originally starring Garner, stars Gibson as Bret Maverick, a card player and con artist who collects money to enter a high-stakes poker game. He is joined in his adventure by Annabelle Bransford (Foster), another con artist, and Marshal Zane Cooper (Garner), a lawman. The supporting cast features Graham Greene, James Coburn, and Alfred Molina, and many cameo appearances by Western film actors, country music stars, and other actors. Maverick was filmed from August to December 1993. Released theatrically by Warner Bros. on May 20, 1994, the film was both a critical and commercial success, grossing $183 million worldwide against a $75 million budget. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Costume Design. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
