Thanks.  Using the patched tmdb.py I got the following results...
'A Simple Plan (1998)' :: Multiple results returned from different years.
Mythvideo prompts user to select.
'A Simple Plan 1998' :: Single (correct) result returned.  No prompt from
mythvideo.

I will do some more tests with other files and report back.
