THE BEGUILED (1971) - strange intense relationship between the characters played by geraldine chaplin and elizabeth hartman TO LIVE AND DIE IN LA (1985) - men casually undressing in each other's company, erotic dancing, strip clubs, a bisexual villain and even a gay kiss. THE 4TH MAN (1983) - sexually explicit film with a pretty intense gay kissing scene and suggestion of a threesome. PERSONAL BEST (1982) - two competing female athletes in love. LILITH (1964) - jean seberg and another female hold hands while warren beatty follows them. GIRLFRIENDS (1978) - not a lesbian relationship, but an intense friendship between two women and they miss each other when the friendship is broken due to a marriage.

Not quite sure if you mean subtextual or literal relationships. There are, of course, dozens of literal titles, and subtextual ones to some extent are highly subjective. But I think I might comfortably add these: REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE - Sal Mineo is pretty clearly infatuated with James Dean HEAVENLY CREATURES - The romantic relationship between Kate Winslet and Melanie Lynskey is the foundation for the entire film more later

The Uninvited (1944) implied a past relationship or at the least one-sided infatuation by the sinister Miss Holloway (Cornelia Otis Skinner) towards the deceased character Mary Meredith (depicted in the portrait below).

DRACULA (1931) Renfield and Dracula, although CL Junior warned against Drac biting any men.
REBECCA (1940) ROPE (1947) There is that BEN-HUR (1959) controversy, about Gore Vidal claiming he scripted a homosexual Messala. I guess it's subjective to the viewer. One recent negative review of the film commented about noticing some homosexual overtone about Messala, calling it weird. It should be noted that Lew Wallace does portray Messala in an orgy with not much female inclusion. Lots of boys though...

There is also the hint of homosexuality in the relationship between Kaspar Gutman (Sydney Greenstreet) and Joel Cairo (Peter Lorre) in THE MALTESE FALCON.

Spartacus had some homoerotic moments. Some were deleted, some not.

There is also the hint of homosexuality in the relationship between Kaspar Gutman (Sydney Greenstreet) and Joel Cairo (Peter Lorre) in THE MALTESE FALCON. Bogart refers to Lorre's character as the "gunsel", a Yiddish word which meant a boy or young man partnered with an older gay man. According to the Oxford English Dictionary the word did not take on the meaning of a gunman or hood until 1941, the year The Maltese Falcon came out.

Actually, I think it was Elisha Cook's character, Wilmer, that Sam Spade was calling a gunsel.

I just saw Design for Living (1933) again and for the last time.I'm not sure if Gary Cooper and Frederick March were really interested in Miriam Hopkins --OR more interested in each other. As for Edward Evert Horton, I'm sure he was never interested in Hopkins sexually. P.S. The play was written by Noël Coward.
