It has to be this way, to have consistency with the data from the plain
text data files.

You best shot is something like this (modify it as you wish):

import re
import imdb

ia = imdb.IMDb()
ibibic = ia.get_movie("0060196")

# List of regexp used to search for
# possible English title in the notes.
# Notice that the order matters: the
# first match, wins.
# Right now .findall is used, but .match
# can be used, too (changing the regexps...)
# Also notice that there may be other variations
# that can be consided, like '(imdb display title)',
# '(literal English title)' and so on.
_re_english_akas_notes = (
    re.compile('^International \(English', re.I),
    re.compile('International \(English', re.I),
    re.compile('^USA', re.I),
    re.compile('USA', re.I),
    re.compile('^UK', re.I),
    re.compile('UK', re.I),
    re.compile('^English', re.I),
    re.compile('English', re.I),
)

def guessEnglishTitle(movie, _releaseInfoToo=True):
    """Return the guessed English title
    of the movie, or the default title,
    if unable to guess."""
    # Consider both AKAs from the main
    # and release info pages.
    akas = movie.get('akas') or []
    if _releaseInfoToo:
        # FIXME: ia MUST be a parameter of this function!
        ia.update(movie, 'release dates')
        akas += movie.get('akas from release info') or []
    aka_list = []
    for aka in akas:
        aka_split = aka.split('::', 1)
        if len(aka_split) < 2:
            continue
        aka_list.append(aka_split)
    best_guess = None
    for title, note in aka_list:
        for re_ in _re_english_akas_notes:
            if re_.findall(note):
                best_guess = title
                break
        if best_guess:
            break
    return title or movie.get('title')

print guessEnglishTitle(ibibic)
