MY BEAUTIFUL LAUNDRETTE (1985) | Dir: Stephen Frears. This was the first film I ever saw that showed two men kiss. I rented the VHS one weekend when my parents were out of town and I could watch it in secret. I rewound the tape over and over again as Daniel Day-Lewis pulled Gordon Warnecke into the shadows of a London alley where they had one of the hottest kisses I’ve ever seen onscreen. I replayed that moment in my mind for years and longed for a similar moment in my real life to happen someday.
