The function then runs through the array to +find the first movie that satisfies the delta of "lastPlayedDate" +and "TIME_GAP_MONTHS". Then a new array with the rest of the movies +that satisfy the condition is created. From there a random movie +is picked and returned. If however, the function hits the end of the +array of movies and the condition is not satisfied (all movies have +been played more recently than the "TIME_GAP_MONTHS"), a random movie +is then returned. For smaller movie libraries it'll be useful to calculate a reasonable "TIME_GAP_MONTHS".
