Using Netflix cheat codes

Children & Family Movies (783)

Classic Movies (31574)

Silent Movies (53310) and Classic Westerns (47465) are categories with landing pages, but as of writing these pages are empty.

Hidden Gems and Cult Movies

Viewers can also sort by unique tags like Campy Movies (1252) and tailored Hidden Gems (hidden-gems). There’s also Cult Movies (7627) and Cult Comedies (9434). The app used to filter them a lot more, but it seems like many of the subgenres were folded into those categories at the moment. While Netflix hasn’t completely gotten rid of the cult categories of B-Horror Movies (8195), Cult Horror Movies (10944), Cult Sci-Fi & Fantasy (4734), and Cult Comedies (9434), these pages are currently blank.

Faith & Spirituality

Though the platform definitely has a Christian-bias, Netflix has a pretty wide selection of spiritual films. You can find them under Faith & Spirituality (26835), Faith & Spirituality Movies (52804), and Spiritual Documentaries (2760). The category is still live, but Kids’ Faith & Spirituality (751423) is currently empty. Many films in the other categories feature family stories, too.

Foreign Movies

Netflix has such a large selection of international cinema that the streamer has rehauled this section greatly greatly over the years. It used to be split by many subgenres, but instead only Art House Movies (29764) remains. Now, Netflix features foreign movies by location. Please note that some of these movies are in English or multiple languages. However, most will be in the primary language of the country.

Wanting to watch movies and television, but with dubbing? There are lists for that too!

Gay & Lesbian Movies (5977)

Horror Movies (8711)

Although the categories are not fully retired B-Horror Movies (8195) and Cult Horror Movies (10944) current sit empty.

Independent Movies (7077)

Music (1701)

While the categories are still live, Classic Musicals (32392) and Stage Musicals (55774) are currently blank.

Romantic Movies (8883)

Sci-Fi & Fantasy (1492)

You can find an even wider selection of SFF and more under Netflix’s tag Geek Week (81610621).

Also, like in previous sections, Classic Sci-Fi & Fantasy (47147) and Cult Sci-Fi & Fantasy (4734) sit as empty categories.

Sports Movies (4370)

Thrillers (8933)

TV Shows (83)

Classic TV Shows (46553) and Miniseries (4814) both are empty categories as of writing.

Happy watching!
