For me, the following changes got me pretty close.

1) Add the date of the video to the filename without parens.   Ex: Young 
Guns 1988.m4v
2) Apply this patch: 
https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/pull/103/commits/f6d9ade62090d9cda84d2dc6172dc6f5d1400498

The patch allows tmdb3.py to support dates within () and without. 
However, Mythtv will still strip anything inside of () so you can't 
easily use it at this time.

Together with those two, I had 95%+ success rate on my movies.
