Kevin Costner's New England accent (or poor attempt at one) in 'Thirteen Days'. It was horrific. It sounded more like someone attempting to parody a Bostonian accent.
Keanu Reeves' butchering of a southern accent in 'The Devil's Advocate' was pretty awful, too.

Dick Van Dyke doing the worst cockney accent ever in Mary Poppins is up there. So is Laurence Harvey trying to do a Texas drawl as Col. Travis in the Alamo. He loses it completely by the end of the film. Another bad one is Renee Zeggerbegger doing that terrible English accent in the Bridget Jones movies. Maybe the all-time worst is one of my favorite actors, John Wayne, playing Genghis Khan just like a Texan. Atrocious.

We cannot sell short Keanu Reeves in "Dracula" (with Winona Ryder a tight second), Mickey Rourke in "A Prayer for the Dying", Dick Van Dyke in "Mary Poppins", Laurence Olivier for "The Jazz Singer" and Richard Attenborough in "Jurassic Park"
And what part of England was Richard from? He came across more as a Columbian guinea pig.

I may be hated for this answer....but Sean Connery's Russian accent in Hunt For Red October was terrible.

In one of the "Die Hard" movies someone tried to do a South African accent, it was absolutely ridiculous.

Kate Beckinsale's "accent" in Van Helsing. I don't know what it was supposed to be, but it was appalling.
