However, Charlie Wilson's War is my first exception to this rule.  I just
watched it, where Tom Hanks' accent is terrible, and was clearly attempted

I'm suspicious of people who claim that an accent in a movie isn't
geniune, as I've repeatedly seen critics complain about movie accents
for actors that were using their natural voice, because it's their
natural accent. An example would be complaining what an awful
Australian accent Hugh Jackman had in a movie.

For that reason, it's best to post your own qualifications for judging
a Texas accent, since it it can be anywhere from "I'm a professional
accent scientist for the FBI at Quantico" to "I've watched many King
of the Hill episodes, and once had a hour-long layover at DFW".
