I am running Plex as a docker in linux on unRAID, just today I noticed that I have a lot of duplicate movies, not sure why. For films like Aliens, I have a poster for each film and then one for all four? I’ve never seen that before, but even for single films I have a second poster for the same film. I don’t have any kind of custom filters turned on, odd. This is my server version.Version 1.12.1.4885

it’s called “inline collections”.

Here’s a summary of what they are, how to use them and how to get rid of them if you don’t like them (also how to stop Plex from automatically creating single-movie collections based on The Movie Database collection information):

Thanks very much, that was exactly what I was looking for.
