I'd never actually utilized Redbox, but there are still plenty of options out there for viewing films.
Netflix - I haven't checked out the US version (and don't intend to) but I don't understand the people who say there's not enough content on there. Granted, I'm a film geek, but my to watch list on there is consistently 30-40 films deep, with a few TV shows thrown in there too.
Library - Not a huge selection but they have blu-rays ranging from blockbusters to Criterions, of which I currently have some on loan. I'm pleasantly surprised at what is a free service.
Casablanca Video - Since they moved closer to me, I've been intending to frequent them more, but I've been trying to hold off because I could spend more money than I want to in there.
TCM - If you're interested in classic and/or foreign films, this channel is a godsend. Easily my favourite TV channel. I scour their listings every week and end up recording a lot of films.
For streaming options, I have Telus and Playstation Store (about a dollar or two cheaper than Telus) If you have the space, you can download your rental from Playstation in advance and thus don't have to deal with the deficiencies involved in streaming. iTunes too if that's your thing.
And of course, there's the cinema too.
To me, it feels like I have TOO much access to films these days, and always have a huge backlog of stuff I want to watch.
