DIRTY DANCING - DIRTY DANCING IS ULTIMATE MOVIE MEDICINE

DIRTY DANCING has topped a UK poll as the movie women most want to watch when feeling ill.

The smoochy 1987 classic, starring housewife's heart-throb PATRICK SWAYZE, beat PRETTY WOMAN to the recuperative top spot in the Tesco Pharmacy survey.

Feelgood favourite GREASE came third, with THE SOUND OF MUSIC trailing behind at number four and epic tearjerker GONE WITH THE WIND in fifth place.

Men, however, prefer comedy and action to jolt them back to good health - they voted STAR WARS as their all time favourite, followed by screwball comedies FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF and AMERICAN PIE.

TOP GUN and the INDIANA JONES saga came in at fourth and fifth place respectively.
