How do people use projectors for movies, etc.?

We're a no TV family. And have been forever.  With the impending social distancing, I'm thinking of a projector to have the option for movies, nature shows, etc. without having an actual TV sitting around. But how do people do that?? I'd rather avoid a subscription (Netflix works that way, right?), but how else does it work??

You can hook it up to DVD or blu Ray player.  They have the same type of inputs of a regular TV.  Than you can project on a wall, ceiling whatever.  

You can also hook them up to a phone or computer and stream.  Their are quite a few free services like Crackle and Pluto that have older TV shows and movies for free with commercials.

We have a projector in a windowless room in the basement, mounted on the wall. It is hooked up to a computer. We can project DVDs (did that before streaming) or computer screen content. We have Netflix. There is also a lot of free content available online. On amazon, you don't need a subscription but can purchase individual films
