And a bit of a follow up question because I want to complain a bit, why does it feel like most movie recommendation websites suck?

Have you tried https://movielens.org/? I've found some great recommendations there

It appears to require an account though?
Which I call a downside for privacy concious users.

It just needs an email address, and it needs to remember who you are, otherwise how could you use it? In movielens you thumb movies up and down and over time it predicts movies it thinks you'll like. It's run by the University of Minnesota
