Hi,

in my Movies List I have a Filter vor “Watched” Movies.

Is there a way to add a Filter for “unwatched” ones?

Thanks

Yes, there is a filter. First, switch the view mode (that is the dropdown selector in your screenshot) of the library to ‘All’.  
Then fold out the [left action bar](https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/200392126-Using-the-Library-View "left action bar") and click on ‘New Filter’ - ‘Unwatched’.

You might also wanna activate the ‘Unwatched’ indicator in Plex Web under  
Settings - Web - General
