The first titles that come to mind are Rotting in the Sun & All of Us Strangers. Both a bit dark and different than the films you mentioned though. I also heard Passages is pretty good and pretty sexy.
When it comes to lesbian films I’d recommend Blue is the Warmest Colour in case you haven’t seen that yet.
If you’re up for starting a new series: It’s a Sin.

“Pre-AIDS gay media always makes me emotional. Unabashedly living as queer in the face of everything makes me emotional. I love the intimacy of this documentary so much. It's so casual and the camera revels in the queens' presence it feels like I could reach through the screen and touch them and then I get emotional again that I cannot. Crystal LaBeija, one of the most influential queens in history, you will always be loved and your legacy is your true win. I love queer flaboyancy and homosexual sensability. Not only have we always been here, but some of us have even always dared to live as we naturally are.”

Everyone needs to listen to this album at least once. Paul Simon’s lyricism and musicality is so refreshing.

Let the choir sing in rejoice, Joni Mitchell is back on Spotify folks. And while some music heads might be tripping over themselves to stream the legendaric Blue 1971 album, you can catch me at the sonic jazz bar that is Both Sides Now. You might be familiar with this re-recorded track and album from the iconic Emma Thompson scene in 2001’s Christmas cult classic Love Actually but this album is so much more. If you’re a jazz enjoyer, or maybe not so into Americana folk, and wanna know what all the Joni-craze is about: this is the album for you.
I recommend listening no earlier than dusk and maybe after a little bit of a hard day.
