10 Great Movies With ONE Terrible Element

Bram Stoker's Dracula is arguably Francis Ford Coppola's last truly great movie - an intoxicating stylistic fever dream of a movie that bleeds mood and atmosphere from its ever pore, courtesy of the all-timer cinematography, production design, makeup, costumes, and sound.

And Gary Oldman gobbling up the scenery like he's starving to death, of course.

While many fans will concede that Winona Ryder's English accent as Mina Harker isn't great, it's permissible enough, especially compared to Keanu Reeves, who for as much as we love him, delivers surely the single-worst English accent ever attempted in a major movie.

Reeves looks the part, but he sounds less like a persuasive take on Jonathan Harker than an SNL parody of how ridiculous it'd be for Keanu Reeves to play Jonathan Harker.

Even Coppola himself admitted that Reeves tried so hard to nail the accent that he only came off more stilted as a result.

It's a laughable piece of an otherwise magnificent film, yet Dracula's pull is so mesmerising that it's thankfully able to withstand Reeves' risible performance.
