    Sean Connery in Untouchables. He doesn't even try.

    He did a remarkable Spanish accent in Highlander, as in Scottish Spanish:p

    I'm going to second Colin Farrell in Alexander. :D:D The whole thing was so embarassing to watch. The water got muddied imo as to what accent he was trying to achieve. I don't think he even had a baldy.

    Yes, those cretins in PS I Love You. For f*ck sake. 'Waylans'.

    Shudder.

    Linda fiorentino in 'ordinary decent criminal' -she was great in the last seduction and ok in dogma but ordinary decent criminal accent wise was total rubbish.

    The accents in that were awful, stereotypical Irish accents for Macedonian characters???

    Ahriiite there, Patroclus?

    Didn't Miley from Glenroe even make an appearance at the start?

    i was just going to say! Connery never bothers with accents too much.

    But it's gotta be Cruise in Far & Away FTW! "Ahhh Shannon!"

    I can't believe no one mentioned Tom "didly-dildy oi" O'Cruise in Far and Away. I had to turn it off half way through because it was really embarrassing.

    well, i dont know about fake irish accents, most of them i can live with, even if it does continue to feed the god awful world view of the stereotypical irish accent.

    however...

    i can never forgive colin farrell for his 'ride macedonians, ride' in Alexander.

    I mean seriously, i thought he was going to break out into the macedonian version of 'roide sally roide'.

    i cried the day i saw that.

    +1. As soon as I saw Cork come up on screen I knew it was going to be bad, but not that bad.

    Some episode of captain planet was really bad also when they went to the north to stop a nuke.:rolleyes:

    Aside from that ass clown, Tom Cruise, I would go with 'Seamus McFly' in BTTF III. Made me chuckle though. :)

    Seamus: Maggie! Fetch some water, we got a hurt man here!

    There are worse accents in it, but that's the only youtube clip I could find! :) It's just so Oirish that all the accents sound ridiculous.
    The girl singing was ok though

    Ha I thought that was hilarious! - just added to the brilliance of the film



    About 3 or 4 characters in The Boondock Saints were pretty terrible. Didn't think much of the film either, tbh - Karl Hungus, you haven't failed me on any recommendations bar that one :p

    Mickey Rourke played an ex IRA guy on the run in the U.S. after 'accidentally' blowing up a bus full of kids, but I can't remember the name of the fillum, its about 20 yrs old or more - anyone know the name? The accent was more than 3,000 miles off centre....

    And completely agree with the Tom (lovin' the alien) Cruise in 'Far and Away'

    The Mickey Rourke one about the bus full of kids was 'Prayer for the Dying'
    Don't remember the accents but Bob Hoskins was in it.

    Also 'Boondock Saints' was an awesome movie, the accents were class.


    :cool:

    PS: I love you

    Was absolutely atrocious. Like, that's exactly how to feck up an Irish accent.

    Best Irish accent was "In America". The main lad in it was spot on.

    Thanks for that - but Bob Hoskins didn't play the priest did he? Was that not Alan Bates?.....(typing first, thinking later)..

    QFE

    The accents in Boondocks were bostonian, not Oirish and they were pretty bang on IMO.

    Everyone's mentioned anything I was gonna suggest so far, so I'm just going to give an honourable mention for Gillian Anderson doing the single mother from Belfast in some movie about a greyhound...she really got the shafty accent down, even managed to make a decent rollie...of course since she's English it's easier than if she were a yank but still, shafty accent is hard to do, so fair f*cks...

    "Where's me ipods?"
    :pac:

    Irish accents should be done by Irish people in Irish films.
    Alexander was just wrong.

    In Bruges though.
