It is August (and therefore one month closer to the end of summer), and we here at For The Win have a bunch of viewing recommendations, including several past Academy Award nominees and winners, if you’re looking for something good to watch on Netflix.

And! Here’s how to hack Netflix using category codes to find every movie and series offered in a specific genre, down to very specific categories.

But if you’re not a Netflix user and are still looking for something good to watch, we can help with that too. Check out some of our other viewing recs:
