Directed by Stephen Frears, and originally released in the U.K. in 1985, this is the story of a young Pakistani man named Omar and his attempt to turn a run down laundrette into a money-making business in 1980's London.
Starring Daniel Day-Lewis (as Omar's gay companion) in one of his first film roles, I'm not sure this film holds up through the test of time.
It was nominated for a Best Screenplay Oscar in 1987 and was one of the U.K.'s Working Title Films production company's first successes...
