I have been a bit insulated by the decline in video rental stores since our neighbourhood store is the vintage rental place I talked about - one of the two stores that survive in the city. We never had a big chain store in our immediate area, so we were not affected by their disappearance. We have continued to rent from the local store even in recent years - we don't have Netflix and only just recently got an Apple TV. That said, I get the feeling that it is only a matter of time before even our local store bites the dust.

I don't know if there are any digital online options for vintage and other hard-to-find films. Probably there are, but I have never checked it out. A future of just watching Batman vs. Superman vs Captain Mavel vs Jason Bourne does not exactly turn my crank.
