One solution is to use Netflix's DVD service. In my experience it has the largest catalogue of any service and in many instances is the only way to legally view a movie without actually purchasing a copy.

It also switches from a passive "watch what is available" model to an active "watch what you have sought out" model.

In spite of the fact that the DVD service has declined in availability, it still IMO makes a lot of sense to keep a steady stream of content coming into the house that I've deliberately chosen to watch. It's a good way, for example, to watch Oscar winners and other movies I know I want to see when they're available. I have a minimal grandfathered plan and it works for me to have two DVDs a month arrive in my mailbox.
