We love Netflix! Mostly we use it for entertainment, but I think they are getting more educational materials. You have to do some searching for it, though. I know they have some National Geographic DVD's, and might even have some Discovery Channel Science DVD's.
There is another outfit, similar to Netflix, that does a lot of educational DVDs. I'll search my homeschool message boards to see if I can find it.

I found this one on my classical education message board;
Family Pass.

OK,
HERE'S another possibility. There is a LOT of stuff on this site, but they have a link for educational DVDs, including movie rental sites.

I just checked Netflix site. If you click on the 'Documentary' link, you'll see they have a whole bunch of them in all subjects, History, Science, Nature, etc.

I had Walmart's DVD club (I think it is part of Netflix now) and cancelled it because I found I could get any movie I wanted through our public library system for free or, if I couldn't get it from our library, they'd "interlibrary loan" me one for a buck!
'Course, there's a bit of a wait, sometimes...but heavens! It's free! (Well, our taxes pay for it.)
