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.

Ugh... every one of those 'women's' movies is more inclined to make me feel worse than better. I go for comedy every time.

Usually if I don't feel good and just want something funny to stare at I toss in Galaxy Quest.

The part when they leave in the rain and he smashes the car window and then they go to the lake and do the lift.....swayze is dreamy.
