Hardly any of your movie folders has the (year) in its name.

Many of your movies are using the mp4/m4v container, which often has nonsensical metadata embedded.
Do the following to lower the ‘importance’ of these embedded meta tags for matching:
Go to
- Settings - Server - Agents - Shows - TheTVDB
In there, grab the line ‘Local Media Assets’ with your mouse and drag it downwards, so it ends up being at the bottom of the stack of active agents.
Repeat the same under
- Settings - Server - Agents - Shows - TheMovieDatabase
- Settings - Server - Agents - Movies - Plex Movie
- Settings - Server - Agents - Movies - TheMovieDatabase

In some of your folders there are .nfo files. If these contain an IMDb ID which doesn’t fit the movie, they can disturb the matching process severely.
Make sure you either have no .nfo files or they all contain the correct IMDb ID.
Make sure that a folder with several different movies in it doesn’t have a .nfo file
You can verify an IMDb ID by replacing the last part of this URL (after the last slash / ) and pasting it into your web browser’s address bar:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2283336

Never download or rip directly into a folder that has been added to a Plex library.
Always use a folder outside of Plex’s scope.
Only after a file is complete, verified as ‘intact’ and ‘playable’ and has been named according to the Plex guides, move it into your Plex library.
