Watching Con-air and I can't get over Nicholas Cage's accent. 
Saying someone like Walton Goggins doesnt count because hes from rural Alabama

Fred Thompson, an actual southerner, didn't have a good southern accent IYAM.
Many actors who grew up in the south can revert back to their natural accent. Annie Potts, Mary Steenburgen, Matthew McConaughey, Resese Witherspoon.

Any Brit or Aussie trying to do a Southern or working class NY/Northeastern accent will 99% be an abomination beyond belief.
In saying that, the absolute most horrific attempt at a southern accent in recent memory is that American blonde biotch from 1883.... Who narrated entire fricking show.
It's so bad it's comical.
...
As for best... (and I know it's cheating) but McCoughnahey in Mud is probably the best recent representation of working class/redneck/common man South Arkansas /deep south/east Texas/North LA I can think of. LINK
Old school 1990s Billy Bob (Hearts Afire and Tombstone, etc) is also the best pure Arkansas accent ever put on film (obviously).
LINK
After Sling Blade fame, he started to lose his accent.

James Van Der Beek in Varsity Blues was really bad.
Alec Baldwin n Ghosts of Mississippi was awful.
Keanu Reeves in The Devil’s Advocate was the worst!
