It can actually be cheaper to buy used DVDs than fuss with streaming or rentals.
For example, gohastings.com has an enormous selection of $2 movies, used but in pretty good condition, with 98 cents shipping per item.
That’s about the same as the large $3 selection you can get at Big Lots!
Now granted that is more than streaming or rental, but you get to keep the legal movie. So if you really like a movie, why not?

I was at a local thrift store not long ago and found a whole case of DVDs. Most not opened. I don’t know where they got them but there were some old movies I had been trying to find for years! Some foreign films. I hit a bonanza and bought 19 of them before I left the store.
Some of the movies...
STALINGRAD
THE LOST BATALLION
ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT (1979 color)
TORA TORA TORA
MIDWAY
PHANTOM OF THE OPERA (the musical) They also had that Robert Englund version which I did not buy as it was terrible.
KHARTOUM
PATTON
THE RED TENT
