No need to strip the year.

vdbpy_batch.py was thought to fetch info from the videoDB database,
and then update missing information, so in my opinion your best chance
is to modify it to suit your needs.
My idea (untested):
starting from line 139, remove the first 11 lines (they handle the
connection to the database) and replace them with a quick-and-dirty
hack like:
titlesFd = open('/path/to/your/list/of/title.txt', 'r')
# there 2 lines replace 'for vid, title, imdbID in movies:'
for line in titlesFd:
vid, title, imdbID = 0, line.strip(), ''
And then, to convert the 'update' step in an 'insert', change:
cmd = 'vdbpy_add.py -f "%s" -u "%s"' % (CONF_FILE, vid)
to
cmd = 'vdbpy_add.py -f "%s"' % CONF_FILE
After than you should be able to run 'vdbpy_batch.py dump' to
read every lines in your list of title; it will create a file
for every title, with the results of the search.
Following the BATCH.txt instructions, edit these files (if there
are too many: give up and hope the first match is the right one ;-)
and then run 'vdbpy_batch.py update'.
It goes without saying that it could mess up your database, so
a backup is mandatory. :-)
HTH,
