Your Netflix hunting just got so much better. Turns out, there are a ton of secret movie categories on Netflix, and there's an easy hack for finding them [1]. To access one of the hidden categories, you'll just need to type out the following in your browser:
http://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/CODENUMBER
So, for instance, 67673 is the code for Disney, so to see all the movies in that category, you'd type:
https://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/67673 [2]
Cool, right? What's on Netflix has all the categories [3], which include very specific genres such as sci-fi thrillers (11014), foreign films from places like Scandinavia (9292), and even for children's age ranges from 0 to 2 (6796) and 11 to 12 (6962).
