I have a need for more Scottish accents in the movies I get recommended :<
Shrek is love, Shrek is life.
Yeah, but Shrek's Scottish accent is horrible.
Stella Turns Tricks?
There are multiple Scottish accents. You'd have to pick which one! Perhaps the most widely recognised would be Glaswegian.
Though probably not the most widely recognised as sexy ๐
I had a boyfriend in England, he was Scottish (town southwest of Glasgow) but had lived in Canada, so the accent was muted. I am from Florida with parents from Louisiana so southern but not Southern l. I liked when he got drunk because he got more Scottish and he liked when I got drunk because I sounded Southern.

which one though? I can guarantee you're not talking about Ayrshire (mine) or (most) Glaswegian. North & Islands are pretty good though.
Whats the one Frankie Boyle speaks?
he's from Glasgow, however almost all Scottish people, if they depend on depend speaking to make a living, change their accent a bit and we tend to speak more slowly. to me, he sounds quite mild and proper. still Scottish, i can tell he's from Glasgow ish but his accent isn't strong. also, he's speaking slowly. Our accents vary a lot here. I grew up 35 miles from Glasgow but people there couldn't understand me a lot of the time when I spoke.
One that isn't yours. No offense.
I actually think that's a universal truth. One's own accent is boring or even feels "non-existent" (it exists) but it may be very attractive to someone else with a different one.

I've always enjoyed a stout Minnesota accent. Very cosy and fun. Sexy... Is a bit beyond my use case.
Boston
Catalan
klingon
The French accent used in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Women speaking south-western Norwegian accent. The one from Sandnes is my weak spot. It's very soft and feminine.
That's my hard pass for some reason. Or did you mean when that dialect speaks English?
When it is spoken in Norwegian. For some reason it just makes women sound softer, warmer and even more feminine to me. Maybe it's because of associations, no idea ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Newfoundlander
Russian or eastern european in general
Nigerian or Welsh
i like the lyrical cadence
As a French speaker I think Italian is pretty sexy, however French is also considered as a sexy accent ;)
