There's a lot more to TCS than algorithms.

Furthermore, the most theoretical course there is the Princeton one. The rest all focus more on using algorithms to do things than on theory.

Can you recommend some courses?

This is mostly from a theoretical crypto perspective since that's what I'm interested in:
