Taxi zum Klo is a refreshingly guilt-free gay movie from West Germany about a promiscuous teacher, played by director Frank Ripploh. Its scenes of hardcore sex led to the film being seized by US customs and denied a general release in the UK, but it’s now seen as a groundbreaking piece of LGBT cinema. The title translates as ‘taxi to the toilet’.

Also known as Taxi To The Toilets
