Why would streaming be the best option for you to watch a movie once? You have long been able to rent movies with just a few clicks from many sellers. Maybe Netflix is the only one where you have to subscribe for a month to watch a movie.

I picked a random film, Titanic, and supposedly it's $4 to rent on Amazon or Apple TV.

A Netflix account costs $9 with ads or $20 without, so I guess it depends on whether you watch more or fewer films than that per month?

JFC, it didn't even cost $4 to rent titanic when it was new.
