All of this. No one else broke away from their accent during the freaking movie because they themselves knew it sucked. One minute it's a bad English accent. Next minute he's speaking in an American accent. Still love that movie though

False. I dated a professor of South African history. She said besides the BS scene with Captain Zero it was spot on.

It's still Nic Cage, but Kevin Costner isn't that far behind.

All the English/American actors over the last 70 years pretending to be Germans, speaking English with a fake German accent.

Costner in Robin Hood
Cage in Con Air
Cruise in Valkyrie...for not even trying.

Julianne Moore's Boston sewer rat accent on 30 Rock annoys the crap out of me.

While its not horrible, its certainly distracting: pretty much all the teens in "How to Train Your Dragons". If you're going to give all of the adults Scottish accents, you've got to give all the kids Scottish accents too. It just seemed to me they just dropped off some Cali kids in the middle of a Viking setting.

Jenn Coolidge in "Slappy and the Stinkers".
Yeah, probably not a popular pick - but if you have seen this movie, you can not deny her accent is the most horrible of any film. ever.
Unfortunately, I can not find any video clips to link.

Cameron Diaz in The box hurt my ears. Unimaginably, almost intentionally awful. You could say that about the whole movie though. Worst movie I've ever watched the whole way through. And I'll nominate Gerard Butler. That dude just can't pull off an american accent.

This was always my pick until I saw this trailer: LINK
Colin Firth and Orlando Bloom attempting southern accents. You can't unhear it.

I guess Mel wasn't any good speaking Gailic or middle English.
William Wallace (man from Wales) spoke Latin, French also, did you want him to speak with a French accent too?

kingbob I have to ask how old are you, because near everyone of the accents in gettysburg was very close.
When I was younger you could tell what state a person was from by the way they spoke and a Virginia accent is very easy to tell.
TV has near done away with this today.
I was in a governement office not long back and the woman next to me was speaking with 2 accents and I nailed it and she asked if I worked at the CIA. She was born in England and moved to South Aficia in her teens and that is easy to spot.

Yeah kind of have to give mel a pass there. Nobody knows exactly what he would have sounded like. For one he didn't even speak modern english.

graychef - I just thought of another movie littered with bad accents: JFK. It seems nobody can get the New Orleans accent down.
I knew someone would necessarily point this one out. Costner's accent and that of all his costars was abysmal. I'll pile on against Pacino in Scarface and Costner in Prince of Thieves, too.
