Nacho Libre
Nacho Libre is a 2006 comedy film starring Jack Black as a Mexican friar who becomes a luchador wrestler to raise money for orphans.
The title combines nacho (the Mexican snack) with libre (Spanish for free), echoing lucha libre, the Mexican style of professional wrestling.
The film has become a cult favorite, and references to it—particularly Black's exaggerated accent and catchphrases—appear in meme culture: He's giving Nacho Libre energy.
