Better Netflix Search/Browse Tools

Thanks to a Motherboard article¹ I learned that Netflix has thousands of genres, including:

• Biographical 20th Century Period Pieces about Fame
• Absurd Cult Comedies from the 1980s
• Heartfelt Hindi-Language Movies

And, data can be beautiful

Here’s a brief list, with 240 categories that link to the Netflix site:

A longer list, currently with more than 2000 categories: http://ogres-crypt.com/public/NetFlix-Streaming-Genres2.html

Finally a more comprehensive resource which claims to have more than 23,000 titles from Netflix worldwide, but it takes forever to load in my desktop browser.

Heartfelt Hindi-Language Movies

This feels very much like a "tag yourself" moment.

And your tag would, of course, be "pre-Code under-appreciated treasures"?

I'd be honored!

I've been known to randomly change the genre numbers in the address bar just to see what I'll get next.

Let me know

...if you end up in Narnia, or maybe the Land of The Truly Funny Movies.
