If the server has multiple versions of that movie then have an option for the user to pick which version they would like to watch.

You can already add different Editions of a movie and have Plex distinguish those.
Can you please explain how you can distingush the difference between the different versions.
Plex uses the term editions for different cuts of a movie.
Plex uses the term versions to mean different versions of the same cut. For example, a 1080p version and a 720p version of the same cut of a movie.
Different editions of the same movie are listed separately in the library.
Different versions of the same movie are not listed separately in the library.
To distinguish between different editions of a movie, please read the article Tom linked. Specifically the Specifying Edition Information section.
For information regarding different versions, see Multi-Version Movies.
For additional information regarding naming and organization of media files in Plex, see Plex Documentation → Your Media.

Are you asking how to tell which of your files is an extended version vs. theatrical release?
IMDB.com has an “Alternate versions” section for movies (if they have alternate versions that is). You can find what type of version (Extended Cut, Directors Cut, Unrated, …) there. There is a time length in this section as well. Length of the file is what I use.
2023 clean-up: implemented
