Techniques for displaying a library of many movies and providing interactive mechanisms for users to browse the library, select or order a title are disclosed. In one embodiment, data pertaining to a title is distributed across a network. Whenever a movie is ordered, depending on implementation, either a leading portion of the data locally cached is played back or a time-fill program is activated during which distributed data is fetched as data streams from a set of designated boxes. In addition, movie titles are presented or displayed in movie banners, each resembling at least part or all of a corresponding movie poster distributed and promoted commercially by a studio or production company. Such a movie banner provides an expression with substantially similar style, colors and background such that a coincident impact may be created on audience when the movie banner is seen. Further each of the banners is embedded with a link that leads to a full review of the movie when selected.
