1 Kevin Costner in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
<p>Costner's enunciation in Robin Hood is so bad, legends have sprung up around it. </p> 46 84
2 Keanu Reeves in Dracula
No surprise that surfer boy Reeves' delivery in Dracula is a total wipeouts. 45 83
3 Ben Affleck in Shakespeare in Love
<p>Affleck can do Boston (he's a native) and that's it. His Brit here is embarrassing.</p> 30 66
4 Leonardo DiCaprio in Blood Diamond
<p>Sure, Rhodesian is an obscure accent -- and one Leo could have left buried in Blood Diamond. </p> 11 91
5 Natalie Portman in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace
<p>In the Star Wars prequels we aren't sure if she's American, British or just from space. </p> 9 77
6 Al Pacino in Scarface
<p>Everything about Scarface is great -- except for Tony Montana's clunky Cuban accent.</p> 8 84
7 Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins
<p>In the beloved family classic Van Dyke sets a new low even by Cockney standards.</p> 6 74
8 Don Cheadle in Ocean's Eleven
<p>Cheadle's thick London accent was booed on both sides of the Atlantic.</p> 6 68
9 Jack Nicholson in The Departed
<p>An acting great -- who should have left his Southie-stylings out of The Departed. </p> -1 73
10 Robin Williams in Good Will Hunting
<p>Matt Damon's savant janitor in Good Will Hunting is more believable than Williams' accent. </p> -2 76
