1. Kevin Costner made it for Robin Hood, but not JFK?

In JFK, you could practically make a drinking game out of guessing which part of the Southern U.S. his larynx was going to travel to next.

5. Costner in Robin Hood makes my top #1.

Friend I went with kept shushing me and told me she'd not go to another movie with me because I kept muttering "shut up, just shut up".

2. Connery going for the lifetime achievement award, I see

I've never seen Cider House Rules - that Michael Caine accent is a thing of horror. Where is he supposed to be from? No place on earth, evidently.

And number one is well chosen. "Yo, Dracul, dude. What's up?"

3. Please also add Julie Roberts in Steel Magnolias.

She may claim to be from Georgia (metro Atlanta, and moved to NYC in her early teens, as I recall), but that woman can't do a decent southern accent to save her life.

4. and nothing for

Winona Ryder? Age of Innocence, Dracula... she always sounds like a California girl.

6. Dennis Quaid, "The Big Easy"

couldn't decide whether he was supposed to be Cajun or Creole (two different parts of La., two completely different sounds). New Orleanians continue to goof on him to the present day.
