City of Joy, the movie version of ''Clean your plate, there are people starving in India.''
2 The Leaky City
It could have been worse. At least the Chicago River wasn't on fire at the time.

The Player does Hollywood like Spago does pizza. Like Way Bandy used to say, ''When you scratch the surface, there's always more surface.''
4 The Guy Who Attacked Reagan

5 Arthur Ashe
The right to be left alone should have been the Second Amendment.

That wasn't pot, you idiot. It was kelp.

8 Def Leppard
Adrenalize should have a warning label: ''If you don't grow out of this by the time you're 16, you're hopeless.''
9 Sleepwalkers

Mr. Macho is afraid to spend a night in jail? He makes Leona Helmsley look positively gutsy.
12 Ren & Stimpy T-Shirts
The hot item for college intellectuals, the ones who wear X caps and carry Bart Simpson key chains.
13 Airfare Reductions
That's a good start. Now, how about baby-free sections?
14 The Arsenio/Jay Rivalry
You ever hear anybody quote Arsenio the next morning?
15 Brenda Starr
They finished this Brooke Shields movie five years ago. You can't tell me they didn't release it because it was so good.
