Linguistic adoration example from Love Actually

video imagePlay video
This is a good example of linguistic adoration of British English in America as an attractive language for a man to speak. Colin explains that in America he could easily find a girlfriend because of his "cute British accent". Later in the movie he ends up in a dive bar in Milwaukee and is immediately surrounded by "hot American girls" who adore him because of his accent and later invite him over and basically have an orgy, proving Colin's hypothesis about his accent right.
