Pick a movie, two or three, pull them out of your mailbox, watch and pop them back in the mailbox. Once returned the next batch in your que gets shipped.

With a good player, physical media still has advantages over streaming - for example, more functionality built-in to fine tune the playback.
This may vary by location, but a good source of blu-ray (not 4K yet, at least for me): Your local library.
Our library gets the latest releases, has a great app to get in the queue and receive an availability notification, etc, etc. Plus you may find movies you would not have typically seen.
Cost: Included in my property taxes.
