Looks like Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001) is the official primary title for en-US

That is most certainly not the case. I take it you don't live in the US, and for that, your mistake is excusable.

From Wikipedia:

The book was first published in the United Kingdom on 26 June 1997 by Bloomsbury. It was published in the United States the following year by Scholastic Corporation under the title Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. [...] It has been translated into at least 73 other languages, and has been made into a feature-length film of the same name, as have all six of its sequels.

Scholastic Corporation bought the U.S. rights at the Bologna Book Fair in April 1997 for US$105,000, an unusually high sum for a children's book.[15] Scholastic's Arthur Levine thought that "philosopher" sounded too archaic for readers[32] and after some discussion (including the proposed title "Harry Potter and the School of Magic"[33]), the American edition was published in September 1998[34] under the title Rowling suggested, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.[15]

(Additionally, iMDB displays the correct US title when viewed in the US and the correct UK title when viewed in the UK (or when you have the settings manually configured as a registered user)).

The fact that The Movie DB does not show the correct US title when passed --lang en_US seems to be an issue on their end, and I'll see if I can get in touch with their support staff to rectify this.

You can pass in --def movieDB for a custom data source, but that's not the issue. You'll want to use TheMovieDB, and that's default already. You'll want to be able to pass in --lang en_US instead of just --lang en which seems to default to British English. No idea if that works or not though.

I'll look into the examples you posted and see what can be done about it.

If you are really keen on Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone though, then you can specifically select that from the alternative titles in your custom format like so:

{movie.alternativeTitles.US}

Assuming that the question is really "How do I get names / years to match what's on IMDb?" then the {omdb} binding is your friend:

{omdb.name} ({omdb.released.year}) [{omdb.rating}]

Using TheMovieDB as primary database generally recommended regardless though, because it's heavily tested and FileBot has many client-side optimizations specifically for TheMovieDB in the context of the amc script.
