Julia Roberts in Steel Magnolias (even though she "claims" Smyrna, GA)
The worst is Amy Brenneman in Heat. Just awful

Ewan McGregor in Big Fish did a solid job with an Alabama accent.
Kevin Spacey in House of Cards pisses me off, because he's doing a lowcountry accent, despite his character being from the Appalachian-lite of Gaffney. Doesn't fit.

worst nominee - Daniel Craig in Knives Out, but I still enjoyed the movie.

I haven't seen HOC, but I like his accent in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil

I think half these examples were meant to be over the top. I really don’t know what people want with southern accent-there are myriad so what sounds disingenuous to one sounds more authentic to another. I also think many people have no clue how they themselves sound. I am also shocked when I hear my own voice on audio. Most will say I do not have much of an accent, but it sounds quite very much like I do on the audio. It also depends on how long you have been around Southerners. My sister came to visit me in college once and I heard her asking someone my whereabouts from down the hallway, and I was astounded by how thick her accent sounded, when I remembered her sounding much less southern when we were around each other all the time.

Bingo. Worst by far. Come to think of it, NOBODY does a good Louisiana accent (there are about 10 from which to choose) in any movie. We’re not 1800s Georgia.

One that sticks out to me, is Double Jeopardy. There was a whole NOLA thing towards the end of the movie, and the accents were terrible. Some of the worst I've heard.
Bruce Greenwood & Michelle Stafford - absolute worst NOLA/Southern accent
Even Steel Magnolia's was bad.

Al Pacino playing a Louisiana detective in Hangman.

1883 girl. I am only 6 episodes in, please no spoilers. But that accent is absolutely horrible. It doesn't even match the accent of her family. It's like she has a speech impediment. I am southern born and raised and I need subtitles to understand her retarded missives.

That would be the lowcountry accent he talked about. Spacey does it well. He's saying in HOC it's not geographically correct- it should have been more of an appalachian accent.

Worst: Brad Pitt as Aldo Raine in The Inglorious Bastards
To be fair I thought Aldo was written and performed to purposely sound over the top and exaggerated accent wise. But I could be wrong

Pretty much every southern role played by Jodie Foster.
