oh my god @tyler what a great catch!
here's my tentative list.
Bound (The Wachowskis) Boys Don't Cry (Kimberly Peirce) Brokeback Mountain (Ang Lee) Call Me by Your Name (Luca Guadagnino) Dog Day Afternoon (Sidney Lumet) High Art (Lisa Cholodenko) Midnight Cowboy (John Schlesinger) Score (Radley Metzger) Tomboy (Céline Sciamma) Victim (Basil Dearden)
honorable mentions: Carol (Todd Haynes) The Children's Hour (William Wyler) Far from Heaven (Todd Haynes) La Cage aux Folles (Édouard Molinaro) Milk (Gus Van Sant) Sunday Bloody Sunday (John Schlesinger) Weekend (Andrew Haigh)
some outlying honorable mentions: The Servant (Joseph Losey) - not explicitly LGBT-themed but there's enough there to make it worth mentioning. Dirk Bogarde plays an effeminate manservant who takes control of his master's house, and Losey plays with a lot of homoerotic power dynamics in depicting the fraught relationship between the two men.
Lawrence of Arabia (David Lean) - this one's even more of a stretch, but some historians did believe Lawrence might have had homoerotic tendencies or was at least masochistic and I think Lean hints at that reading if O'Toole's performance straight-up plays into it. That aspect of the man's life isn't explored and doesn't have much to do with the story (apart from that beating he endures from the Turks which is all but framed as sadomasochistic fantasy), but I can't pretend that O'Toole's effeminate characterization isn't one of the things that draws me to the film and his performance. He's a fascinating oddity in big Hollywood historical epics.
also want to shout-out my queer favs from 2018, The Favourite and Disobedience, although I didn't want to include them because they're still too fresh on the mind.

Tough list to make. I tried balancing out overall quality of the movie, how well it represents LGBT themes, how much of a landmark film/how progressive it is for its time, (pop) cultural impact, representation of LGBT cultures, LGBT characters, and their personal impact on me, so it's pretty subjective, but here's my list:
1. Cabaret (Bob Fosse, 1972) 2. Moonlight (Barry Jenkins, 2016) 3. Brokeback Mountain (Ang Lee, 2005) 4. Paris Is Burning (Jennie Livingston, 1990) 5. Carol (Todd Haynes, 2015) 6. Hedwig and the Angry Inch (John Cameron Mitchell, 2001) 7. Call Me By Your Name (Luca Guadagnino, 2017) 8. Philadelphia (Jonathan Demme, 1993) 9. My Own Private Idaho (Gus Van Sant, 1991) 10. Love, Simon (Greg Berlanti, 2018) 11. The Rocky Horror Picture Show (Jim Sharman, 1975) 12. The Crying Game (Neil Jordan, 1992)
And another 12 greats that haven't been mentioned yet: Other People The Birdcage Monster Rocketman Boy Erased Black Swan Poison A Single Man The Way He Looks Tangerine God's Own Country Pariah
