Right, so verbs with using être as an auxiliary usually describes either: (a) a verb describing movement without an object (intransitive) or (b) a verb whose object is the same as its subject (pronominal).
For (a), you've likely learned DR MRS VANDERTRAMPP or something like that hence the 14 verbs but you're right in that these are not exhaustive; there are more verbs like off the top of my head I can think of the venir-like verbs like intervenir and parvenir.
For (b), these would be your pronominal verbs so « se souvenir (de), s'appeler, se réveiller ».

Unfortunately, the only way to get accustomed to these verbs is just by usage and by memorisation because the patterns have exceptions. An example that comes to mind is « bouger », an intransitive verb describing movement – it literally means to move – but it takes avoir instead of être. Another one is how some verbs in that acronym can be used transitively (with a direct object) and so would take avoir. For example, the verb « sortir » means to come out when used intransitively and take [something] out transitively.
-> Je suis sorti de la maison (I left the house)
-> J'ai sorti la poubelle de la maison (I taken out the rubbish bin from the house)
