"Love Actually" was released ten years ago and never gets old. Movies with a large cast these days seem to fail as pleasing movies though they can top box offices. "Love Actually", even with its large popular cast is a movie that is still perfect with the holidays approaching. 

Here's why people still love it: 

1. Any scenario you can think of is in the movie. There's a young intern wanting to spend the holidays with women, porn stars filming on Christmas, a cheating man and his wife, his wife's brother helping his son get his young love, a newly-wed couple, a politician in love with his staffer, an inter-cultural relationship and a pop-star releasing a Christmas song.

2. American girls love men with English accents.

3. Colin Firth speaking Portuguese is funny, but attractive, especially when he attempts to propose.

4. Disney's "Phineas and Ferb" and "Game of Thrones" star Thomas Sangster says more than a few words like he does on the show. 

5. Hugh Grant dances around to the song "Jump (For My Love)" by the Pointer Sisters. 

6. Two "Harry Potter" stars play husband and wife. 

7. A choir singing "All You Need Is Love" by the Beatles. 

8. Christmas songs on repeat preparing you for the mood.
