 When I was that age, me and a few friends got together and rented the Friday the 13th movies that were available up to that point, I think up to 6 and we stayed up all night till about 6:30am. My dad didn't have an issue with us watching the series.

 14 year old boys? The Playboy channel obviously!

But seriously....

Idiocracy
Invader Zim
Monster Squad
Monty Python & Holy Grail
Coraline
Beowulf
SpaceBalls
Clue
Creepshow

Movies to avoid:
Fight Club
Sick! Life & Death of Bob Flanigan, Supermasochist
House of 1000 Corpses
Moonlight Whispers
Se7en

I see this is an older thread. Had the party yet? You didn't say when it was. If so, what did you end up showing? If not, my suggestion is below:

Eragon would be a good movie for them.
The main character is a young boy, that lives an adventure. There's no sex, drugs, or bad language in the movie either, and plenty of action, to hold their attention (I would think so anyway).
Good luck!
