"And then there's the reigning champion of phony Southern accents, "Gone With The Wind."

What did you think of the job Tom Hanks did in Forrest Gump of combining a Southern accent with a "developmentally challenged" accent?

Not a great fan of Tom Hanks. I didn't see "Forrest Gump." The clips I saw on TV didn't impress me.

Another Southern accent disaster was "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof." I saw it a long time ago, when it was first released, and recall asking myself, "Why am I here?" when I heard Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor trying to speak Southern. I guess the hot redhead sitting next to me kept me in the theater.
