I'm going to expand my original list with all of the queer movies I've seen since then!
The Tin Star (1957) - Not as gay as I thought it would be, but there's some semblance of subtext to be found if you look hard enough...
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) - Paul Newman described it as "a love affair between two men"... so... there's that!
Winter Kept Us Warm (1965) - I thought it was pretty damn gay but apparently some of the actors didn't even know it was supposed to be.
Compulsion (1959) - Based on real gay murderers (same story as Rope (1948)).
That Certain Summer (1972) - Hal Holbrook and Martin Sheen are explicitly in a relationship, but they show almost no affection towards each other whatsoever. But what can you expect from a 70s TV movie?
Imagine Me & You (2005) - Cute lesbian romcom. I loved it!
Some Like it Hot (1959) - Has kind of an open queer ending.
Midnight Cowboy (1969) - This movie actually destroyed me. You need to watch it.
Mass Appeal (1984) - A lesser-known movie about the church and there's a bisexual priest and it's very interesting. And Jack Lemmon is in it. I love it!
Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence (1983)
Bound (1996) - Amazing lesbian crime movie. So good.
Mikey and Nicky (1976) - Gay gangsters??? Just maybe???
Buddies (1985) - Really touching and devastating movie about AIDS
Kiss of the Spider Woman (1985)
The Balcony (1963) - Shelley Winters and Lee Grant may kiss 👀
The Falls (2012) - Gay mormons. Low budget. On Tubi.
The Best Way to Walk (1976) - DEVASTATING french movie about repressed desire.
I Love You Phillip Morris (2009)
Movies I haven't seen yet but I've heard they're queer in some way:
I hope everyone has an AMAZING pride month this year, and I hope this list has given you some good recommendations! Please suggest more movies that I may have missed in the tags!!!
