My Beautiful Laundrette (Stephen Frears, 1995):
Our closing film is Stephen Frears's 1985 comedy-drama, a landmark in the history of LGBT+ cinema.
Set in London during the Thatcher years, the film reflects the relationship between the Pakistani and English communities. The story follows Omar (Gordon Warnecke), a young Pakistani and his friendship-turned-romance with the street punk Johnny (Daniel Day-Lewis). The two become the managers of a laundrette, originally owned by Omar's uncle.
The BFI ranked My Beautiful Laundrette the 50th greatest British film of the 20th century.
