I rent most of my physical movies from the public library. They have a great selection and high availability. I started this during my undergraduate where the the university library had a great movie selection. This is a tangible moment of gratitude for your tax dollars serving you and your community.
I too get almost all of the movies and TV that I watch as DVDs rented from public library. There are some limitations on selection but, overall, it's been great.
Daniel, did you ever use the Redbox kiosk to rent DVDs? I used to like the one placed as you enter the grocery store, because it had fairly recent releases, and since you pay for it directly for at the kiosk - that (plus potential late fees) make one somehow more invested in the movie. Plus you might get a DVD with "bonus features" like bloopers, cut scenes, and director's comments. However, I don't think they're including those as much anymore. As Mark and NickS mention, browse the library collections for movies and mini-series from PBS, HBO, etc.
That was my first thought as well. If you try to find movie rentals in most locations it's a 50/50 mix of Redbox and "Blockbuster (Permanently Closed)"
I understand when you say "DVD" and mention that you have to have a "4K player" that you mean 4K blu-ray. However, I also did a double take when you wrote "DVD" because I'd shake my head as to why anyone would want to go that retro. Some may end up confused because there is a distinct difference in the formats.

Before streaming if I really enjoyed a movie, I would often rewatch the movie with the director's commentary. I miss that.
I'm impressed that there even exists a viseo rental store near you. I'm not sure the last time I've seen one anywhere.

Good call. I'm using DVDs as shorthand for physical media.
