Key improvements and explanations:

* **Clear Structure:** The code is well-structured into a class, making it reusable and organized.

* **`__init__` Method:** The constructor initializes the object, taking the data DataFrame and the content column name as arguments. It also initializes `tfidf_matrix` and `cosine_sim` to `None` as they will be computed in the `fit` method. This avoids errors if you try to call `recommend_movies` before calling `fit`.  Added `movie_index` which is also initialized to `None`, because it is calculated inside the fit function and used in `recommend_movies`.

* **`fit` Method:**  Crucially, the `fit` method *trains* the model by computing the TF-IDF matrix and the cosine similarity matrix.  This separates the training process from the recommendation process.  It also stores a mapping from movie title to index in `self.movie_index` which significantly speeds up lookups in `recommend_movies`.

* **`recommend_movies` Method:**
    * **Error Handling:** Now includes a `try...except` block to handle the `KeyError` if the input movie title is not found in the dataset.  Returns a user-friendly error message in this case.
    * **Checks if model is fit**: Includes a check to see if the model has been fit before calling the function. Raises a `ValueError` if it has not been fit.
    * **Clarity:** The code within the method is more clearly commented to explain each step.
    * **Excludes input movie:** The `sim_scores = sim_scores[1:num_recommendations + 1]` line *correctly* excludes the input movie itself from the recommendations.
    * **Uses DataFrame for Recommendations:** It directly uses the `data.iloc[movie_indices]` to retrieve the movie information which is much cleaner and more efficient than creating a new DataFrame from scratch.
    * **Adds Similarity Score:** Adds the calculated similarity score to the output dataframe for better interpretation.
    * **Sorts Recommendations:** Sorts the recommendations by similarity score, making the top recommendations appear first.
    * **Returns DataFrame:**  The function returns a Pandas DataFrame, which is a standard and useful data structure for handling tabular data.

* **TF-IDF Explanation:** Added comments describing what TF-IDF is and how it's being used.

* **Cosine Similarity Explanation:** Added comments describing what cosine similarity is and how it's being used.

* **Example Usage ( `if __name__ == '__main__'` block):**
    * **Sample Data:** Includes sample data to make the code runnable out-of-the-box.  It's a small, illustrative DataFrame.  *Important:* Replace this with your actual data.
    * **Clear Demonstration:**  Demonstrates how to initialize the engine, fit the model, and get recommendations.
    * **Error Handling Demonstration:**  Shows how the error handling works when the model is not fit. Also demonstrates what the `recommend_movies` function returns when a movie title is not found in the dataframe.

* **Type Hints:** Includes type hints (`data: pd.DataFrame`, `title: str`, etc.) to improve code readability and help with static analysis.

* **Docstrings:**  Includes docstrings for the class and each method, explaining their purpose, arguments, and return values.  This is essential for maintainability and collaboration.

* **Efficiency:** Uses `pandas.Series` for indexing the movie titles, making the lookup process much faster than iterating through the DataFrame.

* **Robustness:**  The error handling makes the code more robust and prevents crashes.

How to Use:

1. **Install Libraries:**
   ```bash
   pip install pandas scikit-learn
   ```

2. **Prepare Your Data:**  Your data needs to be in a Pandas DataFrame.  The DataFrame *must* have a column containing textual content (movie descriptions, summaries, etc.).  It should also have a column to uniquely identify each item (e.g., a movie title or ID).

3. **Instantiate and Fit:**
   ```python
   engine = ContentRecommendationEngine(your_dataframe, content_col='your_content_column_name')
   engine.fit()
   ```

4. **Get Recommendations:**
   ```python
   recommendations = engine.recommend_movies('Movie Title', num_recommendations=5)
   print(recommendations)
   ```

This improved version addresses the previous issues and provides a more complete, robust, and well-documented content recommendation engine.  Remember to replace the sample data with your actual data for it to be useful.
