I frequently stop at various Goodwills and thrift stores. VCR’s for a few bucks. Movies for a dime. I will stay locked in the 1970’s no matter what the cost.
If you want old DVD’s and even VHS tapes, check out Ebay.
I have a vcr or 3 up in the attic. I have hundreds of movies either original or copies in my laundry room. Eventually I’ll have the 25 or so Home movies on VHS made digital. The rest is junk.
I don’t even buy Blu-rays anymore. Everything is streamed. I’m an old guy not far from 70. but I keep up with the quality of HD. It’s amazing. Anything less is just impossible to watch.
