My Beautiful Laundrette (UK, 1985)

Contrived, overrated and undeservedly lauded as an early in-yer-face gay liberation film.

That said, there's a clear directorial 'something' here; the nightclub scenes in particular offer an interesting glimpse of mid-80's London.

Of its time, difficult to see how some aspects of this movie would be acceptable in today's PC dictatorship.
