As the huge popularity of The Chosen has proven, faith-based movies and shows are possibly at their most popular in quite some time right now. Last year, The Chosen creator Dallas Jenkins brought The Best Christmas Pageant Ever to the big screen, with the likes of Judy Greer, Pete Holmes, Molly Belle Wright, and Lauren Graham helping take a faith-based Christmas movie to impressive box office success. Since then, the film has become a hit on streaming, as have many other notable movies from the same genre, including a movie that remains one of the highest-grossing faith-based movies of all time.
“Small-town businessman, pastor and volunteer firefighter Todd Burpo (Greg Kinnear) and his wife, Sonja (Kelly Reilly), are struggling to make ends meet during a tough year. After their young son, Colton (Connor Corum), undergoes emergency surgery, Todd and Sonja are overjoyed at the child’s miraculous recovery. However, the Burpos are unprepared for what happens next — Colton says that he went to heaven and back, and tells his parents things that he couldn’t possibly know.”
What Else Is Popular on Netflix?
Heaven Is for Real is just one of several enticing titles currently topping the Netflix charts. Elsewhere in the top ten, the hit true-crime documentary The Perfect Neighbor clings onto its place in the charts, with 2023’s Wonka, Steven Spielberg‘s underrated sci-fi effort Ready Player One, and the hilarious The Hangover occupying spots eight through six. The smash-hit animated musical KPop Demon Hunters continues to prove popular, although no film can yet knock A House of Dynamite from its place at the top of the charts.
