Guess Which Actor Is Responsible For Three of the 'Worst Accents In Movie History'

Lone Scherfig's One Day may have received mixed reviews last week but one aspect of the film has been universally panned: Anne Hathaway's distractingly shaky Leeds accent. In honor of the actresses's awkward Yorkshire articulation, LIFE has compiled a list of the twenty "Worst Accents in Movie History." Can you guess which actor is impressively listed three times?

Keanu Reeves! According to LIFE's ranking, the Bill & Ted actor contributed three of the most offensive accents in cinema history via his roles in Bram Stoker's Dracula, Little Buddha and The Devil's Advocate. If it makes our buddy Keanu feel any better though, he wasn't responsible for the very worst accent in movie history. That honor goes to Kevin Costner for Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

Below, a snippet of Keanu's endearingly awful accent work and LIFE's top ten.

1. Kevin Costner, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

2. Drew Barrymore, Ever After

3. Sean Connery, The Untouchables

4. Julia Roberts, Mary Reilly

5. Harrison Ford and Liam Neeson, K-19: The Widowmaker

6. Keanu Reeves, Bram Stoker's Dracula

7. Keanu Reeves, Little Buddha

8. Keanu Reeves, The Devil's Advocate

9. Charlton Heston, Touch of Evil

10. Angelina Jolie, Alexander
