Your local public library likely has a decent selection of movies on DVD and with inter-library loan they can probably get you just about anything you want. I’m in the midst of transitioning my Netflix DVD queue into a list on the library’s catalog and thusfar, I’ve only had one movie/TV show (Rammbock) not show up in the local library system’s catalog.
California folks, worth knowing is that most (if not all) library systems in California will give a card to anyone with a California ID, even if they don’t live in district. When I lived in Santa Monica, I had cards for Santa Monica, LA County, LA City, Orange County and Beverly Hills.

My previous city library was a pretty good supplement to Netflix. But my new city only has new stuff. An only does inter-library loans for printed material. West coast libraries are unusually well stocked for DVDs because occasionally (before streaming) a movie or other entertainment company will get caught doing some minor misdeed, and was able to pay the fine by dumping DVDs on rural library systems.
- dhosek 4y agoI finished my transition from a dvd netflix queue to creating a list on the local library system’s online catalog. I’m in suburban Chicago and of the 149 titles (a bit more when measured in DVDs) in my queue, only two were not available (The Secret Policemen’s Last Ball and Rammbock). I would have kept doing my $7.99 a month for potentially forever, but the announcement managed to get me to empty my queue a lot faster.
