Exercise: Movies

Write a console program that puts Movie objects into a SortedList. The movies are sorted by their year of release. Movies contain actors of type Person which are sorted alphabetically by their last name.

Your program should produce this output: 
🍿 Welcome to the movie database! 🎬

Title: Forrest Gump, Year: 1994, Genre: Drama
Lead Actors:
  - Tom Hanks
  - Robin Wright

Title: The Matrix, Year: 1999, Genre: Science Fiction
Lead Actors:
  - Laurence Fishburne
  - Carrie-Anne Moss
  - Keanu Reeves

Title: Interstellar, Year: 2014, Genre: Science Fiction
Lead Actors:
  - Michael Caine
  - Anne Hathaway
  - Matthew McConaughey

Implementation

You can use this method to create movies:

private static SortedList getMovies() {
    SortedList movies = new SortedList<>();
    Person[] actors1 = {new Person("Keanu", "Reeves"), new Person("Laurence", "Fishburne"), new Person("Carrie-Anne", "Moss")};
    Movie m1 = new Movie("The Matrix", 1999, new SortedList<>(actors1), "Science Fiction");
    movies.add(m1);

    Person[] actors2 = {new Person("Tom", "Hanks"), new Person("Robin", "Wright")};
    Movie m2 = new Movie("Forrest Gump", 1994, new SortedList<>(actors2), "Drama");
    movies.add(m2);

    Person[] actors3 = {new Person("Matthew", "McConaughey"), new Person("Anne", "Hathaway"), new Person("Michael", "Caine")};
    Movie m3 = new Movie("Interstellar", 2014, new SortedList<>(actors3), "Science Fiction");
    movies.add(m3);

    return movies;
}

Method add in SortedList puts an element at the correct position based on the element's compare method (the element is Sortable).
