I swear you don't read my posts, because I know we had this discussion just recently. 
iTunes does rent movies, has done for years. Red Tails is $3.99. Thor isn't availble for rent, as for Amazon, so it's probably a per-studio thing.
Netflix's movie rental business (as opposed to streaming) is dying, and they know it. Reed Hastings is always talking about the need to transition to the more profitable streaming service as fast as possible. Plus Redbox is stealing a lot of their business.
I agree people prefer the "all you can eat" option Netflix has, but their streaming movie selection stinks recently. The studios have raised their prices, and they can't affort to pay for the content anymore. Amazon has much deeper pockets, and will probably win in the long run.
