yeah IMDB search is a bit off!
You where searching for
"http://us.imdb.com/Tsearch?title=Bruiser (2000)"
Which did bring back the correct films, however this cannot be used generically as it is a category 'all' search, whereas we need to perform a 'title' specific search so that we can fall back from 'popular' to 'exact' to 'partial' etc....

If you perform this search again, with or without the year, specifying title in the drop down it produces the same results as the csharp script; ie pull sin the weird popular titles................Bruiser is just an anomoly.

IMDb Title Search

FYI - the info in IMDB is less accurate now than that in movie-xml IMHO as there has been a massive db update recently; try using that search and you get bruiser back first time.
