There are secret Netflix codes to unlock hidden movies and TV shows

It has been revealed that there are secret codes which Netflix subscribers can use to access hidden content on the site.

Netflix has put together thousands of hidden categories with movies and TV shows which can only be accessed with specific codes and not on the normal home page.

The categories include popular ones like reality TV and romantic comedies, to the more nice and obscure including deep sea horror and urban and dance concerts.

So how do you access the hidden flicks?

All you need to do is find the code for the category you want to access then type it at the end of this URL: http://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/XXXX.

For example, if you wanted to check out the Australian movies (5230) you would type in: http://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/5230.

Here are just a few of the codes:

Classic Musicals: 32392
Reality TV: 9833
Romantic movies: 8883
Political Documentaries: 7018
Slapstick Comedies: 10256
British Movies: 10757
Tearjerkers: 6384
Zombie Horror Movies: 75405
