Dev, please add personal movie rating or playlist

Would be nice to have the option to mark a movie as favorite or add stars as to recall latter.

At minimum be able to add a movie to a play list direct from the movie. Not have to go to play list then search for a movie.

Both of those features are available.
While you cannot flag a movie as a favorite, you can definitely add a personal rating by assigning 1-5 stars (actually many clients even allow assigning half-stars for further granularity).
You can see / change that rating at the top of a movie’s pre-play Screen in Plex Web. The personal rating can also be used for sorting and filtering (e.g. in a custom filter showing only comedy movies from the 1990s with more than 3 stars).

When you’re on the movie pre-play screen you’re also able to directly add a movie to a playlist - you can create a new playlist of assign the movie to an existing one.
The same works as well when you’re in the library… you can find the same button/command there. It allows assigning all visible items of that library to be added to a new/existing playlist (e.g. all of them or a subset based on the applied filter).

Goodie: if you create a new playlist from a filtered library view, this will create a „smart playlist“. The content of such a playlist will be automatically updated if you add new movies that match the given criteria (those playlists can be identified by a little gear-icon in their poster)

Edit: there’s an existing freakier suggestion for flagging/listing your favorite movies and shows within Plex as well.

Given all that, I’m going to close your suggestion (partial duplicate, partially implemented - fully covered)
