A decade ago, it was difficult to find quality faith-based entertainment. Today, though, such options are seemingly endless. 

Christian titles are available on platforms like Netflix and Prime Video, alongside dedicated faith-based streaming services. Meanwhile, Christian titles arrive almost every month in theaters.

And despite what you may have heard, the best films in this genre can stand up to the best of mainstream entertainment. Everything in the faith genre has leveled up -- the storytelling, the production quality, the performances. Today’s faith-based movies are light years ahead of yesteryear’s. 

Compiling a best-of list is always difficult. For starters, you have to ask: What is a Christian film? For this compilation, we’re using a straightforward definition: a movie with strong Christian themes. It also needs to be generally family-friendly. To keep it simple, this list only includes movies released in theaters. 

Here are the 12 best Christian movies of 2024, in alphabetical order.

Movie poster for Sight, a 2024 topic about Nashville eye surgeon Ming Wang, set for May 24 release.

A Hollywood adaptation of Nashville eye surgeon Ming Wang's story grossed $3.5 million in its opening weekend, according to several movie industry trade organizations.

Dr. Ming Wang is a Harvard and MIT graduate and one of the few laser eye surgeons in the world who holds a doctorate degree in laser physics. The film "Sight," the first generation Chinese-American immigrant film in American mainstream media, is based on Dr. Wang's autobiography "From Darkness to Sight." 

As a teenager, he fought poverty and hardship in China and came to America with only $50 in his pocket and knew very few English words. But he saw nothing but opportunity and earned two doctorate degrees, one in laser physics and one in medicine. He graduated with the highest honors from Harvard Medical School and MIT Magna Cum Laude.
