I hit all the criteria in 25 movies, so I'm padding it out with a few random LGBTQIA+ adjacent ones from my watchlist because that's a big blind spot for me. I picked these by reputation and haven't seen them yet, so apologies if there's some in here that aren't actually that gay.

REQUIEM
GOOD MANNERS
THE DUKE OF BURGUNDY
THELMA
THE HUNGER
THE HANDMAIDEN

And, fulfilling no requirements at all other than Not Driving My Partner Nuts With All My Boring Old things, some recent hits:

SMILE
THE MENU
LAST NIGHT IN SOHO
BONES AND ALL
ENYS MEN

Unscheduled bonus movie:

ARACHNOPHOBIA
