  ★★★★★ Rewatched 27 Sep 2023 1

  My beautiful launderette (1985)UK

  Why do I like it? Why do I recommend it?

  The movie is a fun glimpse into London life in the 80’s. This gay love story addresses everything for racism, homophobia, and the social political marginalization in Margaret Thatcher’s England. This film deals with serious issues and it was way ahead of its time.

  Excellent performances by the GREAT Daniel Day Lewis (Room with a View, Lincoln, The Last Mohicans) and Gordon Warnackle.
