The site relies on Google for searching, and that may be where the problem lies. A search for "Solaris" finds Moon because Solaris mentioned on a Moon page. Solaris is second, third and fourth in the Google search results.
So the plugin needs to be updated to show the rest of the search results rather than just the first one (Also to auto-download the Extra Large version, when available, instead of making the user choose each time); as you say, the correct result is number 2 in the search results. Unless I'm mistaken, the plugin only ever presents the first search result as an "option," regardless of how many there actually are. And it could be aided with Google's allintitle: operator, as I describe below. Until then, to clarify your workaround, your Web search can be used to find the correct page on IMP Awards, and once you do, you can copy the URL (http://www.impawards.com/2002/solaris.html) to PVD's URL field and run the plugin again, after which it will download posters from the correct movie.
You can improve the Web search's results by using the allintitle: operator just like you can on Google's own site:

(Surprisingly, running the Google Site Search directly on Google's site turns up 11 results instead of 10, but still not all 13.) PVD must use a different method, though, because it has thumbnails for all 13.
