In addition to the accent being laughable, he also uses the expression, as an Irish man in the 1890s, "lighten up" :rolleyes:

Brad Pitt has to get a shout for The Devil's Own. Fúcking terrible it was.

Sean Connery in "Darby O'Gill and the little people".

An excellent film ruined by Connery's accent.

So whats the worst you've heard?

Watching this film now, his accent is so bad that the narrator say's he was Irish\Lithuanian.... I reckon that was a re-write after they heard him speak, its atrocious

The Drogheda accent is dire. They don't pronounce the letter "R" at all. Its something like "Dwahedah".

Very authentic Belfast accent there... not as bad as South Park's Bono accent though.

Julia Roberts in Michael Collins. Scarlet for her.

Alan Rickman did a spot-on impression of De Valera though.
