Here Are the Netflix Codes for Categories Geeks Will Find Helpful

Recently it was discovered that inputting numbers into the search field (See Update) on Netflix will take you to specific movie categories. This is helpful as a majority of Netflix's library does not appear on your home screen unless it's new or they think you'll like it. While Netflix's smart suggestions aren't entirely off base with me, they do also aggregate my wife's picks, so they aren't as perfect as I would like. Inputting some of these codes into your search and rating some titles will make your Netflix a geek hub before you know it!

IMPORTANT UPDATE: The codes do not work by search. They must be input at the end of a URL in your browser like: http://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/8985 or just click the numbered links.
