Buying movies is for suckers

Yeah! Netflix all the way

I don't consider myself a heavy movie watcher to begin with so maybe I'm in the minority, but I don't see the point in buying movies. If I want to watch something, I'll move it to the top of my Netflix queue and it'll be ready in a few days. I don't think there have been any cases where I've needed to have a movie on hand within two business days, and in the unlikely event that would happen, I can go rent it at the store using my ancient Blockbuster account.

Plus, in a few years, you won't even have to wait for the DVD to get to you in the mail--you'll be able to download any movie at any time. I guess that's possible even now, but it's cumbersome due to legal issues, unavailability of titles, bandwidth limitations, and the fact that you want to watch movies on a TV, not a computer, but the TV/computer interface is not yet fully consumerized, if that makes sense.

What's the point in spending $9-20 on a movie to own it when you can pay $1-4 when you want to actually watch it.
On demand?
redbox?
blockbuster?
netflix?
online?

The upside to buying DVD's is simply that by owning the movie, one can view it whenever they choose. No waiting on a waiting list for it to come in, then having to worry whether or not the DVD is in. Or for those who borrow from a video store or library collection, do worries that the DVD will damage your dvd player

buying movies would be ok if they werent so darned expensive
theres no justification for the high prices when the cost of manufacturing them is so low & all the money made from the movies at the box office far outweighs any loss
the MPAA really needs to get a life
we could quite happily survive without movies, as each of our lives is one big movie in itself
sure they are entertaining, but not for $30 each...
and then they wonder why people download movies & copy them, get some common sense geez
