The best Southern accents in a movie hands down belong to Smokey & The Bandit.

Obviously Jerry Reed and Burt Reynolds didn’t have to act. They just spoke in their normal voices.

Jackie Gleason nailed his “accent” absolutely perfectly.

Mike Henry admittedly sounded a little more like one of them effeminate Ole Miss types than a Texas waddie.

Absolutely.

I also always get a kick out of Reese Witherspoon at the end of Sweet Home Alabama when she punches Candice Bergen and goes redneck girl. She flips that switch easily.
