LOL I thought the same thing.

How about Casino or Good Fellas! ROFL

Thinking of Truman Show... Bruce Almighty was good.

the modern take on it:

 

[Dude111]

My son is having friends over for a birthday party

Ahhhh Please tell your Son I said HAPPY BIRTHDAY buddy!!

What kind of movies?? -- How about movies from when we were younger??

The Toy - 1982
Real Genius - 1985
Wargames - 1983

Those are 3 movies I love with a passion


GOOD LUCK..........

 

[John Connor]

Some of my suggestion were because I think you can't go with slapstick comedy with 11 year olds.

I was thinking of Jim Carrey because of this. Ya, the Truman show doesn't really work but it is kid safe!

I was also thinking about Dr Evil ..... Austin Powers. It's old enough (1997) that most kids don't know that it exists (so a new to them movie) and it is hilarious! And is a bit slapstick.

 

[Sonikku]

Ghostbusters
The Goonies
The Princess Bride

 

[Coulrophobia]

Babadook

 

[Harabec]

At that age we used to watch movies like Alien...

Never too young to introduce them to The Holy Grail.

 

[John Connor]

Batteries Not Included!

Never too young to introduce them to The Holy Grail.

Actually, a lot of the humor would go over a younger persons head. More of a high school and later type of movie.

 

[Xenon]

Requiem for a dream

Big Hero 6 went over well with kids in that age group over at my place. I can't think of too many that aren't too babylike that aren't also PG-13. It's almost a niche. Galaxy Quest is PG and pretty fun, but too old. We all loved Inside Out, but since the protagonist is a girl, that might not play well to a crowd of prepubescent boys.

The Maze Runner wasn't bad

Another PG-13, like virtually all the movies I can think of.

I first watched it when I was 9 and laughed my ass off throughout.

What is wrong with these kids that they wouldn't be able to appreciate it?

But that is why these kind of movies are great: humor for different ages. Watch it years later, you understand even more of the jokes and love the flick all over again. It's why Pixar is so popular.

Last five years, PG rated, well regarded, and suitable for young boys... seems to be not much there. The Lego Movie? TRON: Legacy? How To Train Your Dragon? Wreck-It Ralph?
