The Basketball Diaries (DVD)

Great DVD not really good for someone that isn't into basketball. But this is a great buy and I got mine dirt cheap to.

wanted or needed a replacement for earlier time when i recorded movie off of cable--it was good then n even better now

This is a great movie and I couldn't find it anywhere until I looked on ebay.com! I like that I was able to buy it new for a good price!

First of all, love the star: Leonardo De Caprio! He acted his role out so realistically I couldn't help but be so into the movie. Being a recovering addict myself, I relived the horror of what resulted from any addiction. Because this movie is based on true life events, it gives hope to those who are in the grip of the "disease" and lets them know there is a way out. For parents who feel their teenager(s) are possibily falling into that area of their life, this is a must see for the entire family (with precautions on the younger ages, of course).. I love this movie, and have shared it in a Chemical Dependency class, for recovering adedicts. Great applauds, and 5 star rating!! May God continue to bless the man himself (Jim Carroll) for sharing his lifes story with the world....Jim, may you continue to endure and prosper in all your endeavors..

exellent movie. great actors. great movie to make you realize the effects and after math of teens and drugs

This is one of Leonardos best films, very touching movie I think people need to watch to understand what teens go through in there teens and adults and the fight to come out of it, also a lot of life learning lessons.

Its a great movie that I seen years ago, and really wanted to see it again! But of coarse it was never sent by the horrible seller that needs to be booted off EBAY!!

really entertaiment and interistin movie! i would highly recomended this movie! specially to parents or teachers who wants to teach about the abuse of drugs!

Looked everywhere for this movie (Basketball Diaries) on DVD. Was very excited when i got it. My conquest was finally over. Love to collect OLD movies. Plus I didn't spend alot on the movie. Thank You

This has all the ingredients of an awesome movie in my book!! Beautifully Casted, Well Written, Expertly laid out and based on true events!! This kept me glued to the screen from start to finish! We watch a Group of boys fall hard from a promising future down into the depths of evil & drugs where only the lucky get a chance to fight there way out and back on track. This has real lessons to teach those of us on the same track or possibly for those tempted to experience what initially appears fun. I recommend every parent to watch this with their teens! It is fulls of lessons without coming across as being a life lesson movie!!

I was unable to find this film at any local DVD stores, but I knoew I would find it here on Ebay. Not only did I find it, but it was well below the normal asking price. The shippment was fast, and the item was in perfect condition. This is why I shop, and will continue to shop on Ebay.

This movie is really good. It shows the street life to drugs. In movies it shows drugs but this one is so realistic. I mean it doesnt hurt that leonardo dicaprio is beautiful. Such good acting it is so convincing it seems that he has been through a drug addiction just like jim carrol. Love this movie I own it and would tell everyone else to also.

It is a great movie about the bad side to addiction and that addiction can hit anyone and tear them down to nothing

If you have never seen this movie then you are really missing out. This is one of the best movies that I have ever seen. When you watch the story you become involved in the life of Jim and what his life was like during that time when drugs almost overcame him. Based on a true story this movie will give you a griiping look into the lives of addicts and how hard it is to overcome.

It would have been a great film, other than the fact I never received it..
I'm unable to dispute the issue due to the "time frame". It seems the information as been erased from my account and I can't enter the one piece of info that makes it all possible..ID # If someone reads this and is able to help me..feel free, because I don't feel safe with e-bay..the seller was Timothy Stack, Orlando FL..A week after the purchase (after I paid) the seller was kicked off e-bay, leaving me with no way to communicate with seller.. It's been I know 2+ months..thanks anyway ebay

This movie is heart-wrenching story of a teenage boy and his friends in New York. It is based on Jim Carroll's life, and is a painfully accurate account of drug addiction. Leonardo DeCaprio stars , and is fantastically convincing as a young man possessed by heroin.
