Best Movie Accents
The one's where the accent sounds natural.
Peter Finch Network, he's apparenlty very british but you couldn't tell me that after watching network.
Jullian Mcmahon Fantastic Four (morely nip/tuck, but its the same voice) He has an austraillian accent.

Bob Haskin's American accent in pretty much anything.

I remember reading that Renee Zellweger's accent from the Bridget Jones movie was very widely accepted as being extremely natural sounding.

Christian Bale in American Psycho (and I guess any other movie where he plays an american). I remember being stunned when I watched the extras on DVD and heard an on set interview using his real accent.

As for Anna Paquin...well after appearing in the Piano with a strong Aussie/New Zealand accent it is not surprising that she lost it. I can imagine after she won the oscar for her role she immediately moved to the US and has lived/worked there ever since.

I don't get you stating Laurence Fishburne in the Matrix??? Its his normal voice that he speaks with. Not seen Higher Learning so couldn't coment.

Although not a movie, Hugh Laurie's American accent on House M.D. is perfect. I think it's funny that even Bryan Singer didn't even know that he was British until he was told by one of the other producers.

Claire Forlani in just about anything. I never knew she was a Brit til years after I saw Mallrats.
Anthony LaPaglia is another actor who falls into that same category. Although his Aussie accent has all but disappeared at this point when you hear him in interviews.
