Recommended naming scheme examples
Often on Radarr discord people asking what's the recommended/best way to naming your files. First of it's personal preference, but the support staff often recommend to add also non recoverable info. Why ?
if you even need to do a re-install, re-import for what ever reason in Radarr or Plex/Emby/JellyFin it's nice to have all that info in the filename so it get's imported correctly and not been matched as HDTV or WEB-DL etc.
The Tokens not available in the release won't be used/shown.

Original Title vs Original Filename
Want to keep the original release name that holds like all the info of the file then I suggest to use {Original Title} over {Original Filename}
Why?
The filename can be Obscured where the Release naming isn't especially when you use Usenet.
{Original Title} => The.Movie.Title.2010.REMASTERED.1080p.BluRay.x264-GROUP
{Original Filename} => group-karatekid-1080p or lchd-tkk1080p or t1i0p3s7i8yuti
Movie Folder Format
Minimal needed
{Movie CleanTitle} ({Release Year})
RESULT:
The Movie Title (2010)
!!! note Keep in mind adding anything more after the release year could give issues during a fresh import in to Radarr, but in this examples it helps for movies that have the same release name and year.
{Movie CleanTitle} {(Release Year)} [imdb-{ImdbId}]
RESULT:
The Movie Title (2010) [imdb-tt0066921]
