First, go to this link below the Discover tool:
https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie-discover
On this page you will see the filters that can be used to receive a list of movies with an API Request.
There are several filters. About 35 filters.
For example, movies released in the 60s.
Maximum 10,000 items (movies) in each answer.
Second, on the same page you can see the items from each movie that will be in the API Request response.
Not many items.
If you need more items, you will have to make API Request for each movie.
Then you should make an API Request of type Details.
On the page below you can see the items for a simple answer.
https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/movies/get-movie-details
and can use the append_to_response feature to get more details in the same answer.

Answers are in JSON.
A conversion to CSV or similar should be done by you.
