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?

Still up for better alternatives.
But for now I've been using TheMovieDb.

https://themoviedb.org/movie

Then use the Filters section:

Select Genres you want to watch
Set User Score between 7 - 10
Set Minimum User Votes to 50
Alter the Filters more if you desire
Click Search

For power users, I recommend to use a plugin like NoScript though, to block Google/CookieLaw's hidden JS spyware on the site (they're on 2/3th of the web tho).

https://noscript.net

Beware, NoScript will break some sites,
and will require you to manually enable/whitelist JS (JavaScript) sources for sites + CDNs to fix this again.

Noscript is necessary for modern web browsing
