How many times do you watch the movie on average? If it's significantly more than 1, you either need to watch different movies (instead of watching Star Wars for the 20th time), or to get a life (instead of spending 50% of your free time watching movies).
Normal people have some favourite movies that they watch again and again, but watch most of the movies only once. If you already know from reviews that Charlie Angels 2 sucks, why do you need a DVD? You should instead watch it once for 4$.

If, for some reason, you will find out that you like the movie, buy a DVD. The 4$ you lose in this case should be offset by the money you save by not buying DVDs for all other movies.
