Best Queer Films of the Decade

There were a number of great and near-great queer films in the past decade, so in this season of best-of lists I thought I'd try to compile a list of the best queer films released in the last ten years. I'll be updating it as I look back and think of more entries. Some of these, such as those of Tsai Ming-Liang, have only marginal queer content but certainly deserve to be recognized. After the first entry, which stands out for me as the best, they're presented in chronological order.
