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
Two very different men in 1970s Los Angeles, a messy private eye and a tough enforcer, end up working together to find a missing teenage girl. Their investigation gets complicated with car chases, gunfights, and lots of arguing along the way.

What happens
The Nice Guys is a 2016 American neo-noir buddy action comedy film directed by Shane Black, who co-wrote the screenplay with Anthony Bagarozzi, produced by Joel Silver, and starring Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling in the title roles, with Angourie Rice, Matt Bomer, Margaret Qualley, Keith David, and Kim Basinger appearing in supporting roles. Set in 1970s Los Angeles, the film focuses on private eye Holland March (Gosling) and enforcer for hire Jackson Healy (Crowe) who team up to investigate the disappearance of a teenage girl (Qualley). The Nice Guys premiered on May 10, 2016, in Hollywood, screened on May 15 at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival and was released by Warner Bros. Pictures in the United States on May 20, 2016, receiving positive reviews from critics for its humor, mystery, and the performances of Crowe and Gosling but it flopped at the box office as it grossed $63 million on a $50 million budget. The film has gained a cult following especially for Gosling and Crowe's chemistry and comedy. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
