Netflix's internet television service is now available in 190 countries across the world.

The service normally only lets you search for films and TV shows using more general categories, like comedy or thriller.

There are at least two unofficial sites that have compiled the codes you need, including one that covers more than 27,000 sub-genres.

These include 20th century period pieces starring Meryl Streep (74188) and critically-acclaimed romantic French art house movies (65259).
