Does Netflix really have 13,000 titles available simultaneously?

Hi all,
I've heard Netflix US has something like 13,000 titles simultaneously available to watch, on demand.
I'd like to know if this is really true as, for example, when I look at my documentaries section, I only have 75 titles to chose from. Same with Dramas, etc.
IS there really more content available on Netflix, than what shows up on the home screen?
I also noticed that some titles have and "available until" date listed in their details... Why is that?
I think most people assume Netflix library on;y expands, not that some content appears for a short time, then disapears again.

Any assistance with this would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Have a look on http://instantwatcher.com/ to see lots more.

Or use the search function in netflix if there is something you know you want to see.

Yes there's far more than the 75 titles available, but it produces a list using an algorithm depending on your preferences and ratings.
The reason you see "available until" on some is because that's when their current license for that particular film/show ends.
When Netflix go to the studios for content they have to negotiate a license for how long they can have it, for the amount they're willing to pay.
When a films/shows licence ends then Netflix have to renegotiate a new licence.
