10 Gulliver&rsquoඣ;s Travels

Lemuel Gulliver

Gulliver’s Travels is quite the controversial ride—and not just because of the Bermuda Triangle. If you're into Jack Black and his chaotic energy, you're in for some ꧅fun. If not, well... buckle up for disappointment.

In this version, he's a mailroom guy who lies his way into a travel writing gig to impress his crush, ends up in the Bermuda Triangle, and gets washed ashore on Liliput—a land of tiny people where he’s hailed as a hero... at first. The film took Swift’s sharp satire, threw it out the window, and replaced it with pop culture jokes and Stꦇar Wars nods. Critics hated it, but if you enjoy goofy humor and rock references, this might just be your guilty pleasure.

9 ဣ Nacho Libre

Ignacio (Nacho)

Nacho Libre is a comedy inspired by a true story and soaked in the colorful world of Mexican lucha libre wrestling. Jack Blac♕k plays Ignacio, a mo🦩nastery cook who was raised among orphans and makes meals with more heart than flavor. But secretly? He dreams of wearing stretchy pants and becoming a masked wrestler.

Despite the monastery’s strict rules, he jumps into the ring to earn money and prove himself—while also trying to impress a beautiful nun. With Jack Black’s signature physical comedy and w𓂃eird charm, the film rides on his energy. Still, if you’re not into its over-the-top silliness, you might spend more time raising your eyebrows than laughing.

8 A Minecraft Mo൲vie 💫

Steve

When Jack Black is involved, you can always expect his unique energy, and A Minecraft Movie is no exception. His performance as Steve is one of the highlights of this live-action adventure, which brings the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:blocky world of Minecraft to the big screen. The film follo🙈ws four mismatched characters who are transported to the Overworld and must fight🐻 the evil wizard Malgosha, guided by Steve.

Initially, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Black 🤡was supposed to voice a talkinꦬg pig, but his passion for the project led to him landing the role of Steve. He even played 🥂over 100 hours of Minecraft during filming to bring the character to life. Despite mixed reviews, the film became a hit, earning over half a billion dollars worldwide. And yes, Jack Black also wrote and performed the original song 'I Feel Ali🌱ve' for the film.

7 King Kong

Carl Denham

In this epic remake of the 1933 classic, Jack Black surprises audiences by stepping out of his usual comedic shoes and into the slightl꧒y more dramatic (yet still chaotic) boots of Carl Denham. Known for rocking out or cracking jokes, here he’s the ambitious filmmaker who drags his crew to Skull Island, discovers King Kong, and decides, 🌠"Hey, let’s bring the giant gorilla to New York—what could go wrong?”

Spoiler: everything. Jack Black gives the character a modern twist—charming, manipulative, and just unhinged enough to make you n🅘ervously laugh. This film proves he’s more than just laughs; he can also deliver disaster… cinematically, of course.

6 Jumanji: 𒉰Welcome To The Jungle ✅

Bethany

For many, Jumanji is one of the most magical childhood films—thanks to its thrilling concept, atm🤪ospheric charm, and of course, Robin Williams. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle isn’t a remake but a modern continuation. This time, the magic comꦓes not from a board game but a mysterious old video game console.

A group of mismatched teens find themselves trapped in the jungle world of Jumanji—inside the bodies of their chosen avatars. Enter Jack Black as Professor Sheldon Oberon, a serious cartographer with one tiny twist: he’s actually Bethany, a selfie-obsess🧜ed teenage girl. Watching Jack Black channel teen drama through a middle-aged man’s body is comedy gold. Plus, touching nods to Alan Parrish add heart to the chaos.

5 ꦛ The Super Mario Bros. Movie

Bowser

One of the films that proves Jack Black isn't just a hero, but a villain master as well, is The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Honestly, saying Jack Black was made to voice Bowser would be an understatement. The movie follows Mario and Luigi battling Bowser's plan to kidnap Princess Peach, and while 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:it's the classic Mario storyline, it's so much fun 🍒you’ll find yourself hitting replay on Jack Black’s 'Peaches' song.

With his colorful performance, playing Bowser was one of his most enjoyable 💧experiences. If you're a fan of Mario and Jack Black's antics, this movie is a must-watch—it feels like playing a Mario game, but with more singing and laughs!

4 Tropic Thunder 🗹 ཧ

Jeff Portnoy

Tropic Thunder is a darkly comedic action film that mocks Hollywood's big-budget war moviꦡes and actor egos. A group of struggling actors join a Vietnam War-tꦑhemed film, only for the director to send them into a real jungle to experience 'authenticity.' There, they find themselves in a real-life battle.

While the other roles are hilariously over-the-top, Jack Black plays Jeff Portnoy, a comedian known for his fart jokes and a few... unhealthy habits. Black nails the cliche of the one-trick comedian with his physical comedy and energetic performance. Portnoy isn’t just a funny character but also represen🧸ts the emotional voids and career struggles of Hollywood stars. Black shows his versatility by blending comedy and drama in this standout role.

3 Kun♔g Fu Panda

Po

DreamWorks' famous animated film Kung Fu Panda tells the story of Po, a lazy and overweight panda. Po works with his father at a restaurant but is chosen to be the Dragon Warrior, a legendary Kung Fu fighter. D🔴espite being physically unfit, Po is determined to prove himself and shows that hard work and potential can lead to greatness, even when no one believes in him.

Jack Black voices Po in this film and its sequels, bringing his unique comedic, energetic, and lovable style to the character. His performance adds em🍨otional depth to Po and makes the film relatable for all ages, proving Black can do more than just goofy ꦑroles!

2 🔯 School Of Rock 🧸

Dewey Finn

Before 2003, Jack Black had already appeared in various movies and TV shows, but School of Rock was undoubtedly a turning point in his career. He plays Dewey Finn, a rock-obsessed, failed band member who’s 𒈔broke an🐟d out of work.

To make ends meet, hꦛe takes his roommate Ned's job as a music teacher at a private school. Instead of teaching classical music, Dewey introduces his students to rock 'n' roll, forming a band and helping them discover their musical talents. The film shows the power of music and teamwork, with Black’s performance adding both comedy and emotional depth. His passion for music helped him rock this role,💟 and the movie catapulted him to fame.

1 ܫ 𝄹 Tenacious D In The Pick Of Destiny

JB

When you think of Jack Black, two things imme𒁏diately come to mind: Tenacious D and this film. The Pick of Destiny is pure rock magic. After watching it, you'll probably replay the songs on loop—and if you're a rock fꦰan, you're in for an even bigger treat. The movie features legends like Dio and Dave Grohl (though good luck spotting Grohl under all that Satan makeup).

Jack Black headsꦇ to Hollywood to master the art of rock, meets Kyle Gass, and together they form Tenacious D. Their mission? Steal the legendary Pick of Destiny. The epic 'Beelzeboss' scene alone is worth a dozen replays. This movie let Jack Black fuse his comedic genius with his love for rock, proving he's not just funny—he’s musically unstoppable.
