Unusual and quirky, one wonders how much of a cult hit My Beautiful Laundrette would have been without a very early performance by Daniel Day-Lewis as the gay pal of an Indian entrepreneur. Centering around the run-down laundromat the pair fix up and the gangster elements they face down in order to do it, Laundrette is often fun and endearing, at least when it makes sense.
