My Beautiful Laundrette...in a nutshell Omar and Johnny were school friends who went separate ways (Johnny fell into a thug crowd as anti-Immigrant sentiment swept England) and happen upon each other at the start of this film. Omar is helping open his Uncle's laundramet (sp?) and hires Johhny to fix it up...and they start up a relationship. I think this was one of the first mainstream films that had a gay coupling...and an interracial one at that. In the background is the social/political Thatcher years in England, racial unrest, working class unrest etc. It's from 1985 and I highly recommend it.
It has some highly erotic moments including one of the coolest tongue licking neck scenes (Johnny licks Omar's neck in public in front of his thug friends but because of how they're standing the friends can't see it...very hot).
