Kevin Costner - Dances With Wolves

Thought it was pretty solid. Love all the ones mentioned so far.

His narration was the least helpful because nobody could understand what the hell he was talking about.

A Manchester accent with language that is incomprehensible slang. I think Burgess just made up words as well.

Burgess was also a linguist. Loved languages. He invented that slang for the novel. Pretty awesome stuff.

No time for the old in out, love, I've got to meet this gloopy poster at Sonic for a little of the old ultraviolence.

A Bridge Too Far opening

Not sure it qualifies since it's only the opening, but it is almost perfect.

Maybe not the all time greatest narration but Bruce Campbell did an amazing job as the narrator of "Bubba Ho-Tep."

I know, I know, its "Bubba Ho-tep". Nobody is putting that on top of their list as the all time greatest movie. But Campbell's narration as an aging Elvis Presley slowly dying in a nursing home where no one believes he's actually Elvis was fantastic.

I'm not sure this is even the best narration by a Sheen in a Vietnam War movie.

I just thought of another one that is hilarious:

Nick Offerman in "the Gunfighter" It's a short film and it's a classic:

It's a little under 9 minutes long but well worth a watch..
