Back when Hulu had the Criterion Collection and little else in the way of movies, Věra Chytilová’s Daisies was always in the Most Popular Movies section.

Preferably that courtroom from Encounter At Fairpoint.

Honestly his "real" accent sounds more like the Southerners I know than his character accent.
