🎬 DJ iSizzle’s Top 10 Favorite Movies I’ve Watched This Year 🎧🍿

As a DJ and entertainer, I’ve always had a deep appreciation for films that bring energy, great music, and strong vibes—just like a killer party set. This year, I took time to enjoy some absolute gems that inspired me creatively, made me laugh, moved my heart, and even made me want to break into dance! Whether it was the soundtrack, acting, scenery, or just pure fun—I found something special in each of these movies.

Here’s my Top 10 Favorite Movies I Watched This Year—ranked and reviewed with love and good vibes:

1. Irish Wish (2024)

Why I Loved It: This one totally surprised me. Beautiful Irish landscapes, a charming plot full of magic and romance, and a performance by Lindsay Lohan that felt nostalgic and fresh at the same time. The music and cinematography were like a dreamy playlist for the heart.

DJ iSizzle says: “The visuals were as smooth as a slow jam, and the story had that ‘second chance at love’ feeling I vibe with.”

2. Paddington 2 (2017)

Why I Loved It: Paddington brings warmth, humor, and heart. The sequel is somehow even better than the first. Hugh Grant delivers an unforgettable performance, and the quirky British humor had me grinning from start to finish.

DJ iSizzle says: “The best sequel I’ve seen in years—like when you play a remix and it’s better than the original!”

3. Paddington 1 (2014)

Why I Loved It: It introduced us to this lovable bear and set the tone for wholesome family fun. The London scenery, whimsical storytelling, and lovable characters made this a comforting classic.

DJ iSizzle says: “Paddington is pure good vibes—like the feel-good track that always gets people smiling.”

4. The Mask (1994)

Why I Loved It: Jim Carrey at his best—wild, animated, and unpredictable. The green mask, the zoot suits, the dancing—this movie is a full-on performance piece. The soundtrack is jazzy, funky, and timeless.

DJ iSizzle says: “This movie is a DJ set on screen—crazy, energetic, and impossible to ignore!”

5. Step Up: Las Vegas (Step Up All In) (2014)

Why I Loved It: A dance movie that goes full Vegas? Say less. The choreography is tight, the battles are fire, and the locations are as flashy as a club on a Saturday night.

DJ iSizzle says: “Every move felt like a bass drop—this movie had me wanting to jump back into dance class!”

6. Splash (1984)

Why I Loved It: A classic rom-com with a fantasy twist. Tom Hanks and Daryl Hannah have great chemistry, and New York City in the ‘80s is a vibe all on its own. The underwater scenes? Magical.

DJ iSizzle says: “A mermaid love story with classic ’80s charm. Feels like vinyl—timeless and smooth.”

7. Paddington 3 (2025)

Why I Loved It: Paddington is back—and somehow this third chapter keeps the heart, humor, and charm going strong. The storyline is touching, the London backdrop is as beautiful as ever, and the performances (especially from the supporting cast) are full of warmth and wit. Plus, that marmalade magic? Still going strong.

DJ iSizzle says: “Paddington 3 delivers just like the first two—cozy, classy, and full of good vibes. It’s the perfect trilogy closer.”

8. Madagascar (2005)

Why I Loved It: A fun, colorful adventure with unforgettable voice work and a wild sense of humor. The soundtrack slaps (can’t lie, “I Like to Move It” is STILL a crowd-pleaser!).

DJ iSizzle says: “This one’s for the party animals—literally! Great animation, great tunes.”

9. Migration (2023)

Why I Loved It: This animated gem about ducks on a journey is visually stunning and has a surprising emotional depth. It’s all about stepping out of your comfort zone—something I relate to as an artist always evolving.

DJ iSizzle says: “Migration had soul. The animation was crisp and the message hit home.”

10. Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure (1985)

Why I Loved It: It’s wacky, it’s weird, and it’s wonderful. Tim Burton’s direction + Pee-Wee’s energy = a movie that’s unlike anything else. That scene with the dancing and “Tequila” still cracks me up.

DJ iSizzle says: “Pee-Wee is the original hype man—this movie’s got mad character!”

🎥 Honorable Mentions:

• The Legend of Zorro (2005): Classic swashbuckling action, stylish sword fights, and Antonio Banderas being a smooth hero. The soundtrack has flair, and the costumes? Iconic. DJ iSizzle says: “Zorro’s got swag—like a DJ in a mask with a mission.”

Final Thoughts:

These movies all brought me joy, inspiration, and a deeper appreciation for performance, whether on stage or on screen. I’m always watching with the mindset of an entertainer—looking for rhythm, feeling, and flow. Whether it’s a dance battle in Vegas or a bear with a suitcase in London, these films lit up my year like a dance floor at midnight.
