I really hope Schindler's List is on there. It drives me absolutely nuts to see these people walking around talking like Colonel Klink when things are supposed to be super serious.

One I honestly thought was going to ruin a movie for me was Daniel Craig in Knives Out. Knowing how he naturally sounds and then hearing that Foghorn Leghorn voice coming out of him was very jarring, but it just fit the movie even more. Even funnier since the script originally called for "a slight southern accent."

As a southerner, any movie that has fake southern accents in it kinda ruins it for me. They're all just so blatantly fake and bad. A lot of them try to sound like they're an extra on Gone with the Wind and it just sucks.

It is not, but interesting... This ludicrous thing where characters are supposed to be speaking another language, so instead they speak English while feigning an accent should have gone out with WWII propaganda films. |

This ludicrous thing where characters are supposed to be speaking another language, so instead they speak English while feigning an accent should have gone out with WWII propaganda films. But outside of Ralph Fiennes, most of the Nazi characters in Schindler's List were played by German and Austrian actors. And most of the Polish characters were played by Polish actors.
Speaking of Colonel Klink, he, too, was also played by a German actor.

The first on the list doesn't make any sense. That movie opens with a transition segment explaining that characters are not actually speaking English at all, and the english acting is for purposes of the movie not being entirely in German. It's straight up part of the film.

It's straight up part of the film. I now understand I was not entirely clear on this. Basically it's this. In a movie where everyone has decided to go with English accents, because they are English actors. Tom Cruise's regular Tom Cruise voice stands out to a distracting degree. |

As well as audience aversion to subtitles (which seems to be on the way out re Parasite's success and the popularity of anime) I think up until recently you might have found German actors reluctant to play nazi characters in past decades due to typecasting fears and such films not being popular at home, Downfall caused a bit of a stir upon its release but maybe its success is what led to native German speakers getting cast as the baddies in Inglourious Basterds.

Klink's accent is stttrrronnngggly exaggerated. And it's great they cast real Polish actors to be in the background, but looking over the cast, every single major character is faking an accent. Every one. |

Charlie Hunnam's attempt at a cockney accent in Green Street was pure comedy.

While Iāll accept the filmās storyās and settings are pretty good.
I canāt get over that in The āHow To Train Your Dragonā film series all the kids have strong American/Canadian accents and the adults have Scottish accents.

I donāt know about ruined, because it had bigger more fundamental problems, but Jodie Fosterās space French accent in Elysium didnāt help.

While Keanu's accent in Bram Stoker's Dracula wasn't good, it didn't ruin it for me. It's still a great movie(& one of, if not the, best Dracula movie), plus, it's not like he didn't give it his all...he just couldn't pull it off. Besides, it's certainly not the worst attempted British accent.
