While many of us are cosying up to the classic festive flicks this month as we draw closer and closer to Christmas Day - there's still heaps of other offerings film fanatics can sink their teeth into if you're getting tired of Love Actually.
Netflix has been providing us with banger after banger and one particular film on the streaming platform has left viewers in tears after watching the 10/10 movie which is based on a true story.
Boasting a star-studded cast and a beloved soundtrack, it's no surprise that people are hailing it as one of their favourite films of all time.

The official premise of the inspirational film titled I Can Only Imagine - which first hit theatres in 2018 - reads: "Arthur mends his relationship with his son, Bart Millard, after physically abusing him in his childhood. As an outcome of their reconciliation, years later, Bart writes a hit song."
Based on American contemporary Christian music band MercyMe's popular song of the same name, I Can Only Imagine tells the tear-jerking true story of lead vocalist Bart Millard's complicated relationship with his abusive father who is portrayed in the musical-drama by Dennis Quaid.
The plot follows Bart's character, played by J. Michael Finley, through the breakup of his family, his high school career, and his introduction to music.
