Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is the 1991 retelling of the classic Robin Hood story, starring Kevin Costner in the title role. It also starred Morgan Freeman, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Christian Slater, and Alan Rickman. Internet critics love to slam Costner's American accent on this movie, but that distraction is more than made up by Alan Rickman's over-the-top performance as the Sheriff of Nottingham. Rickman won a BAFTA award for his role, while Costner won a Razzie.

I remember Alan Rickman on a late-night talk show (Arsenio Hall, I think) defending Costner's funky accent, saying that it's possible that, back in those days, the English accent sounded more like the modern American accent than the modern English accent. I don't know if that's accurate, but I will never second guess the great Alan Rickman.
