Hi mohen,
For a query like this, you need to use the
primary_release_date.gteandprimary_release_date.lteparams.For more available params, please read through the docs.
Cheers.

Thank you for the quick response. for some reason I missed that on the docs. Sorry. But for some reason I still getting wrong dates like 2013 http://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/top_rated?api_key=xxx&primary_release_date.gte=2014-01-01&primary_release_date.lte=2015-12-31

You can't use those filters on the top rated method, only the discover.
If you would like get the top rated with those date queries, use the
sort_by=vote_average.descparam with the discover query I posted above.
