For some reason, the internet is utterly obsessed with reliving its 2016 glory days. A testament to just how bad 2026 is, or a harmless blast to the past, you decide.

I mean, what would Star Wars and Jurassic Park be without John Williams’ beloved orchestral arrangements? Or, what would a viewing of Titanic be without the tear-inducing “My Heart Will Go On” by Celine Dion? Of course, some movies are made better by rock and metal music.
