There are plenty of titles I am really happy I have permanent copies of, especially Disney films. Given the way the mouse re-edits, re-colors, even bowdlerizes, I'd hate to leave their legacy entirely in their hands.
And you never know when your favorite movie will become the subject of some legal disagreement, and suddenly, there's no access anymore.
That said, I mostly rent these days, especially titles younger than twenty years or so.
