I see in the code "SequenceMatcher", an interesting approach, but in cases when movies have a few different titles, this won't work. The search on imdb will find the movie by each of its different titles.

The imdb movie info probably returns all movie titles, you could check all of these "AKAs" against SequenceMatcher, and acknowledge the movie as "empty", only when all "akas" for the movie fail. What you do currently is check only the main title.

I don't know IMDbPy api, so can't tell how to get all titles for movie, but it should be there, because such info is available on imdb pages.
