iTunes or Amazon Prime has movies to buy and rent. Lots of newer movies take a long time to appear on streaming if at all. I rent quite a lot on iTunes. It’s a fiver and no hassle. Some are a bit special, like Nosferatu costs 16 just to rent it, yeah no I’ll wait.
Also buying on iTunes has been worth it for me as they will give you higher quality versions later on without additional cost. Way back I got Home Alone for free in the advent calendar in SD and now I can watch the same in 4K.
Downside of course is you don’t really own anything.

On some services like Amazon Prime you can rent a movie for 24h (or something like that)
You can also “buy” movies, but I’ve seen so many times that they take away the movie that you “bought” and you don’t get a refund.

You can also rent on YouTube, and even buy there, so you can always access your cherished movies in reliable and enduring Google Services.
