Feel free to expand it to include TV shows, miniseries, etc.

I believe the worst ever are Jon Voigt's accent in Anaconda and every accent attempted by Kevin Costner ever.

Princess Leia - Star Wars: A New Hope. One of the worst attempts at least for the half of the movie she was trying to do one.

oh GREAT one, Josh.

that was difficult for Nicholas Cage because, well, he had to play someone other than Nicholas Cage.

One of the worst actors ever. His only good role was as H.I. McDonnough (sp?)

On the flip side, I thought Helena Bohnam Carter was amazing in Fight Club, her British accent slips once, when she spots the kiss scar on his hand and says "WHOT is that?"

Hahaha I'm sure nobody really remembers it, but on Harold and Kumar go to White Castle when they meet those two hot girls who are supposed to be English. My god they had the worst "accents" ever. It made my ears bleed.

^considering you've probably never heard a white man from Zimbabwe speak, i'd say it was pretty damn good. Also when he speaks in the native language it sounded great. Great movie over all!

Dicaprios' accents have always been fantastic. James Gandolfini however, as much as i love him, just could not pull off the southern accent in all the kings men. This could be attributed to his being typecast in my mind, but it was pretty bad.

classic. i remember being 14 or 15 or whenever the movie came out and every ten seconds watching tv a preview would come on that went..

"This is your opportunity!"

followed quickly by "I don't want......................... your laahfe"

also, can i get a gg for jon voigt in anaconda? a long running joke between my friends and me in high school was to say, using his accent, "babies. all of them babies. go on babies, back to your mother."

These both are the worst ever.

Also, Billy zane from titanic, he had a weak british accent at the beginning, then it tapered off.

I was watching My Name Is Earl tonite and Jamie Pressley had a terrible southern accent

even though she is from north carolina she was trying to sound too southern

hurts my ears, nobody can pull of the exaggerated southern accent without sounding like a complete idiot except for maybe tom hanks in forrest gump since he was retarded and all

Going on the obscure animated end of the spectrum . . .

The accent of the kid who did the voice of James from James and the Giant Peach was horrendous. Download and listen to the song "My Name is James" if you want to die lauging.

John Travolta's attempt at a Southern accent in The General's Daughter was offensive.
