Net ix uses algorithms to help subscribers sift through their options by highlighting TV shows and movies you may like based on your pro le and what you’ve watched before. But your preferences might be a bit more speci c than trending titles, sci- , fantasy, horror or award-winners. Depending on what you’ve watched, Net ix’s recommendation algorithm might’ve buried the perfect movie or show. If so, Net ix codes can help you lter through the onslaught of content to nd more interesting recommendations than the usual fare.

Net ix codes — though not a new discovery — are based on a number system the service uses to categorise lms and shows by genre and subgenre. Note the codes can only be used on the Net ix website, not in its apps.

movies to watch on Netflix

After rst premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival, this documentary produced by Blumhouse founder Jason Blum and American Horror Story’s Ryan Murphy has just landed on Net ix. It explores the dangers and wreckage of conversion therapy, a term that describes coordinated e orts to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender expression. Survivors and former therapy leaders re ect on their experiences.

You may not be able to escape your life for a day, but you can live vicariously through Ferris Bueller (Matthew Broderick), who ditches school to go on an adventure in the city of Chicago with his best friend (Alan Ruck) and girlfriend (Mia Sara) in this ‘80s teen classic.

A more recent and also excellent teen movie, e Edge of Seventeen stars Hailee Steinfeld as a savvy and disa ected girl who feels betrayed and abandoned when her best friend (Haley Lu Richardson) starts dating her older brother (Blake Jenner.) Woody Harrelson plays the understanding and cool English teacher she goes to for support.

It’s the coming-of-age movie that traumatised a generation. Set in the ‘70s, My Girl centres on Vada Sultenfuss (Anna Chlumsky), a death-obsessed 11-year-old who lives in a funeral home, barely has a relationship with her widower dad, and pals around with the geekiest kid in school, omas J. (Macaulay Culkin). She experiences a lot of rsts in this movie —some tragic and some positive — and the growing up continues in the sequel, My Girl 2, which is also now on Net ix.

Pop star in real life Christina Milian plays a ctional wannabe pop star in this Net ix original. Her character Erica accepts a gig at a destination wedding, which turns out to be pretty complicated as her ex is the groom.
