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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
A sports series that used a computer game and NFL Films footage to simulate matchups between legendary NFL teams from different eras. It determined which historical team would win in a hypothetical championship.

What happens
NFL Dream Season is a TV show broadcast on ESPN in 1989, in which 20 all-time great NFL teams competed against each other using the football simulation game NFL Challenge. NFL Films footage was used to create what appeared to be a "game" between the two teams. The 1978 Steelers beat the 1972 Dolphins to win the title. In 1990, ESPN ran a one-off show with the 1989 Super Bowl Champion 49ers against the '78 Steelers. In 1999, they produced a similar mini-series, featuring overall "decade" teams of the 60s Packers, 70s Steelers, 80s 49ers, and 90s Cowboys playing each other. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
