"M" by German director Fritz Lang (who emigrated to the US later) from 1931 is probably one of the most significant expressionist movies. The story of a child murderer and the way society reacts to the crimes was groundbreaking at the time. Peter Lorre, who later made a career in Hollywood (Casblanca, Arsenic and old Lace), plays the leading role. The movie can now be found for free on the internet and there are English subtitles, I've read once that there is a dubbed version from the 1930s but have never watched it. There are also several horrible remake attempts, best ignored.

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has established an extraordinary new benchmark: detecting the light of a star that existed within the first billion years after the Universe’s birth in the Big Bang (at a redshift of 6.2) — the most distant individual star ever seen. https://esahubble.org/news/heic2203/

Watched Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" on Friday night, for the first time in 10 years I think, still an amazing movie, probably one of the best ever made. For those who do not know it, it has almost nothing to do with the Stephen King novel (apart from the basic plot). Every scene has so many layers it's unbearable :) If you havn't watched it yet, I highly recommend you do so.
