Nacho Libre
Directed by Jared Hess
Ignacio, a disrespected cook at a Mexican monastery, can barely afford to feed the orphans who live there. Inspired by a local wrestling hero, he decides to moonlight as the not-so-famous Luchador "Nacho Libre" to earn money for the monastery -- not to mention the admiration of beautiful nun Sister Encarnación.

60 of 167 · most liked firstI don't think there's been enough mention that the new MINECRAFT movie is directed by the guy who made NAPOLEON DYNAMITE and NACHO LIBRE. Yes, it's big studio IP but Jared Hess has created something fun and weird and we hope it's a huge hit. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJO_...
neutral · AI labelView post →2 and a half years ago I sat through a presentation about a Lucha libre inspired packaging design where the person presenting said that Lucha libre was popularized in the US by the movie “Nacho Libre” I haven’t known peace since
neutral · AI labelView post →Post a movie you like with a terrible rotten tomatoes score. I love Nacho Libre. It’s heartfelt, hilarious, endlessly quotable, and even filmed in Oaxaca with locals cast in the film. That makes it extra special to me. I watch it at least once a year. ♥️🩵

All of his brothers stand between 6-10 to 6-11 and his sisters between 6-5 and 6-6. 12-year-old Steven is on the far left. • Favorite movie: Nacho Libre • Favorite Song: Bohemian Rhapsody • Plays guitar

neutral · AI labelView post →Nacho Libre is a 20 year old movie. That's right, Boomer.
neutral · AI labelView post →Masked Republic is working with Fray Tormenta to get a biography of him out in 2026. Tormenta was the loose inspiration for the Nacho Libre movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre are two of my favorites that I can still watch. I will catch A Christmas Story and Vacation movies.
positive · AI labelView post →I love that Jared Hess, the maker of the Minecraft movie, also made Napoleon Dynamite, Nacho Libre, Gentleman Broncos, and Murder Among the Mormons - a fascinating look into one of the biggest scandals in the religion. He's still Mormon, but he's a hero for me - willing to talk about hard truths
neutral · AI labelView post →Fun daily challenge from @drinkanddrawberlin.bsky.social - movie stills. Since I am still on a watercolor quest, that's the medium. Nacho Libre. It was tough to choose, since every frame is ready to be a painting. #art #watercolor #illustration #jackblack

neutral · AI labelView post →I was perplexed by the bizarre tone of the MINECRAFT movie trailers until I discovered it's directed by Jared Hess who did NAPOLEON DYNAMITE and NACHO LIBRE and now it all makes sense...
neutral · AI labelView post →When was the last time there was a comedy movie where the protagonist has a goofy profession, and the climax is them succeeding at said profession. Like a Zoolander, or a Nacho Libre Is Happy Madison the only people cranking out movies like that anymore?
neutral · AI labelView post →Minecraft? That movie that supposedly signaled the death of cinema last year? It was directed by Jared Hess. Yes, that Jared Hess: Napoleon Dynamite, Nacho Libre and Gentlemen Broncos. He's also directing the Minecraft sequel as we speak, btw. 😂
neutral · AI labelView post →Nacho Libre is an Easter movie
neutral · AI labelView post →Yes, I will watch a 3 hour Samurai War drama and a horror movie about a lady having sex with a car and getting pregnant, but I haven’t seen Nacho Libre before
neutral · AI labelView post →If you told me yesterday that the director of Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre was the one directing the Minecraft movie i wouldn't have believed you.
neutral · AI labelView post →According to my Letterboxd ratings, Nacho Libre is a better movie than The Godfather.
positive · AI labelView post →Does anyone else quote a movie randomly throughout the day? For me, it's Nacho Libre, several times a day actually - whether out loud or in my head, he's become my inside voice now
neutral · AI labelView post →I just found out the Minecraft movie is directed by Jared Hess - who did Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre (and Gentlemen Broncos, which is even more weird and strange). Now I'm actually kinda interested and things make way more sense, like the fashion choices. Why is this not in their marketing??
neutral · AI labelView post →From the director of (checks notes)… - Napoleon Dynamite - Nacho Libre - Gentlemen Broncos - Thelma the Unicorn That sounds about right, actually.
neutral · AI labelView post →Also didn't like Nacho Libre, Hess' next movie.
negative · AI labelView post →Nacho Libre was a really good film
positive · AI labelView post →and yes I'm still mad about Nacho Libre (what the fuck do you mean you made a Fray Tormenta movie and cast Silver King as the bad guy and even taught Jack Black to do La Magistral and then he wins the climactic match by doing La Magistral OUTSIDE THE FUCKING RING)
negative · AI labelView post →I will never feel right again watching Nacho Libre knowing that almost the same people did The Minecraft Movie. I still love this movie tho. Nacho Libre, of course.
positive · AI labelView post →got dragged to the Minecraft movie with friends didn't know the director was the Napoleon Dynamite+Nacho Libre guy til the opening credits, mentioned that to friends next to me, and immediately had the realization of "oh god the kids in this theater are too young to know what Napoleon dynamite is."
neutral · AI labelView post →i remember we had this circuit overseer growing up who was absolutely obsessed with the movie "Nacho Libre" and would literally reference it like on stage.
neutral · AI labelView post →Latinos are the largest minority in America but get the least representation in Hollywood. Mexicans were excited about Nacho Libre, a movie with a white guy doing a frankly kind of racist accent, just because it was a movie where the Mexican characters weren't drug dealers. The bar is that low.
negative · AI labelView post →This is the greatest movie of all time behind Nacho Libre

positive · AI labelView post →Weirdly enough I think Nacho Libre, an entire-ass movie about lucha libre, based on the story of a real-life luchador, that co-stars an actual wrestler and ends with Jack Black executing an actual famous Mexican wrestling move, is the dirt worst

positive · AI labelView post →In 2007, two of Jared Hess' films would see handheld games in the form of Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre. With the Nintendo DS lacking wrestling games at the time, could this movie tie-in fill the void? VIDEO REVIEW👉 youtu.be/O4e2W_Hz1e0 #gaming #nintendods

A friend claims that it is an exploration of taoist vs confucian philosophy which I guess it kind of is? Loved noodle goose.

neutral · AI labelView post →If you had to pick one comedy movie to represent the 2000s, Nacho Libre would be a strong contender. Jack Black as the star. Mike White the writer. Jared Hess the director. clearly drawing from Wes Anderson visually. It’s a movie that has it all

neutral · AI labelView post →Today in film, we watched the 2nd half of Nacho Libre, followed by a little cinematic masterpiece neither of us had ever heard of called Hot Rod. What a journey that was.
positive · AI labelView post →Nacho Libre is such a beautiful, beautiful film. It's so silly and warm and lovely.
positive · AI labelView post →So like is Nacho Libre supposed to be an abysmal movie, or what
negative · AI labelView post →59. Nacho Libre Good Burger for 2000's children, and like that film, I enjoy it more every rewatch. The humor's not as great as its 90's cousin, but what it lacks there is made up in production values because goddamn, is Oaxaca pretty to look at. Surprised Nick filmed the whole thing there.
positive · AI labelView post →What the fuck do you mean the director of the Minecraft Movie also directed Nacho Libre why did I not know that
