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
Plunkett & Macleane is a 1999 British historical action comedy film directed by Jake Scott. It stars Robert Carlyle, Jonny Lee Miller and Liv Tyler. The film follows the story of Captain James Macleane (Miller) and Will Plunkett (Carlyle), two men in eighteenth century Britain who are both struggling to survive. The characters are loosely based on two genuine highwaymen of the eighteenth century, James MacLaine and William Plunkett, although the story bears little relation to their actual lives. Plunkett & Macleane was released in the United Kingdom on 2 April 1999, by PolyGram Film Distribution. The film received generally negative reviews from critics. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
