Netflix is a popular OTT streaming service that offers a wide variety of award-winning television shows, movies, web series, anime, and documentaries. Netflix has much more genres than what it shows you on the home page and many more films in those genres than what it recommends you to watch.

We all know the feeling of scrolling meaninglessly through one Netflix category after another, from “Reality TV” and “TV Dramas” to “Thrillers” and “Suspenseful Movies.” If you would rather not just passively surf through the categories that Netflix chooses to serve up, there’s an easy way to do it.

Method 1: First, click either TV Shows or Movies at the top of the Netflix homepage. Once you do, a Genres pull-down menu will appear.

Click it to reveal a selection of about 20 different genres, from “Action” and “Documentaries” for movies and “Anime” and “Stand-Up & Talk Shows” on the TV side.

Method 2: Browsing Netflix’s genres is a good first step toward finding the perfect video, but the categories listed in the genres menu are much broader than the sliced-and-diced collections listed in the main Netflix interface. What if you’re in the mood for, say, a spy movie, a western, a classic musical, or a sports drama? There’s a way to pick and choose between dozens of niche Netflix categories, but it requires a little legwork.

Method 3: The vast majority of shows and movies that appear on the Netflix homepage hail from the past five years or so. If you want to see something from the 1990s or earlier, you’ll need to dig. And while you can sort Netflix’s listings by year from the desktop Netflix interface (click TV Shows or Movies, click the grid icon in the upper-right corner, and then select Year Released from the drop-down), you’ll need to scroll and scroll to get past the 2010s—and no, you can’t reverse sort by year.
