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?

Every movie recommendation website sucks in their own way … which is why one way of dealing with it is to average them all out.
When my wife and I do a search we’ll first find a film that was recommended by a friend, site, forum, wherever … then do a quick search in rotten tomatoes, IMDb, Google and Letterboxd … we do a quick round up of all the sites reviews based on how many reviews and by who (audience and critics) … then we do some quick mental math and come up with an average rating ourselves. It works most of the time but at a better rate than anyone one recommendation site.
Then if we get frustrated, we watch a classic old film. If you rewatch an old film from 30 years ago, it’s like watching it again for the first time. Well not exactly but do you remember all the details of a movie you watched 20, or 30 years ago.
