3. Three Men and a Baby

Three Men and a Baby is absolutely the cutest movie there is. In the film, three bachelor friends live together in a Manhattan penthouse and enjoying their single lives. When Jack (Ted Danson) is off in Turkey to film a movie, Peter (Tom Selleck) and Michael (Steve Guttenberg) return home to find a baby girl in a basket on their doorstep with a note and no mother.

In fact, they have no idea which one of them is the father or even who the mother is of this darling little girl. The only thing the note says is that the baby’s name is Mary. Until the mother returns, these three hapless single fathers have to care for their beautiful little daughter.

That’s when the fun begins. Having the baby puts a little bit of a damper on their party lives as well as their romantic lives. Plus, they now have to learn all there is about taking care of a baby and all that it entails. It’s hilarious watching these three single men trying to learn how to take care of this tiny bundle of joy.

2. Flubber

Flubber, which premiered in 1997, is a remake of the Disney movie Absent-Minded Professor starring Dick Van Dyke from 1961.

In this version, the absent-minded professor is Phillip Brainard (Robin Williams), a professor at Medfield College. In his spare time, he works in his basement trying to come up with a great invention.

Brainard becomes so obsessed with his invention that he forgets about any and everything going on around him. This includes forgetting his own wedding to his fiancée Sara who is also president of Medfield College.

After missing his latest wedding, Sara calls the whole relationship off, and it was during this depressing time Brainard finally invents something: “Flubber.”It’s basically a green, flying rubber.

Unfortunately, when Brainard tries to share his new invention with Sara, he sees her going out with another professor. To top things off a few nasty criminals try to rob him, and now he has to figure out a way to win Sara back and keep the bad guys from stealing his Flubber.

What follows is Robin Williams doing what he does best, making us laugh.
