almost every movie out of about 500 ones are scraping fine,
only theese three wont scrape as they should:
7lives
Jackass 3.5
X-men first class
ive tried different spelling of the titles (even alternate titles)

This is right from TMDB.org. Try:
"7lives(2011)" or "7lives (2011)"
Jackass 3.5 (2011)
X-Men 5 - First Class (2011)
Not sure if that helps. In the TMDB there is a link that shows alternate titles, that's where I found the X-Men movie naming. Also, if you use a file renamer like FileBot, it will scrape the movies and rename them in the correct naming convention using a multitude of scrapers. I've never had a problem.

When you say you've tried different titles, were you changing the file name or the folder name, or both?
If it was only one or the other, you should double-check that your setting for "Use folder names for look up" matches your expectations. It may be the that the thing you've been changing has had no bearing on whether the movie gets scraped properly.
(You can check the setting by selecting 'Edit source' from the context menu whilst highlighting the relevant movie source.)

The only thing I can think of is that something went wrong the first time you scanned, and the wrong thing got cached. Now when you scan, rather than pulling the data from tmdb, XBMC is going to the incorrectly cached file instead. You might find the situation magically fixes itself after a time (when the cache expires). You can, of course, force the issue by deleting the files yourself - the cached files would be in C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\cache\scrapers\metadata.themoviedb.org\ if you want to check (and delete) them.
This won't apply, however, if the issue has persisted for more than, say, 24-48 hours (or however long it takes the cache to expire).
