I'd like to second this. The year you get from tv guides or that are 
commonly used when referring to a movie is the year of production. But 
the year that you will find on sites like imdb or themoviedb is one of 
the many release dates. (first shown on a festival in this country, 
release to the movies, etc pp)

When matching movies for my tv guide I allow for a five year window 
(given year +/- 2) for positive matches and even that is to narrow 
regularly.

So use your year or the running time etc pp to suggest a likely best 
match, but don't simply filter by one year.

Karl
