There's 4,000 movies available for free on YouTube. More if you pay for YT Premium. That's just one example...any streaming stick will give you loads more.

True, you have to have Internet, but you're going to have Internet regardless.

Compare to the 1980s where you had to drive to a Blockbuster and pay $3 or $4 a pop for VHS.

And you can still rent movies. Heck, if you want to live in the 1990s, your local pawn shop or flea market has tons of DVDs you can buy for less than a 1990s rental.
