I've had some good recommendations from https://movielens.org/

Also, if you like a particular movie/genre then it's best to google for similar ones. People tend to recommend 'if you like X then you should also check out Y'. I've found this to be a decent indicator.

I like these profile based recommendations, but they tend to be black box ones. They miss out on the how I may like a future movie that I have not come across before. I like how nomadlist.com has done it for places. You can easily figure out which place to go, just using their fitlers.

Would a similar filter be useful for movies?
