5 UNEXPECTED FACTS | The Basketball Diaries

[@NostalgiaNeverDies]

This LEO BASKETBALL DIARIES EDIT will 💯 melt your ❤️ kzbin.info_lTWq_-8nlk?feature=share

[@darkb4light06]

I was 17 when this movie came out. I remember seeing it when it was on the theater. I was a huge fan of Jim Carroll after this.

[@NostalgiaNeverDies]

We love this movie and we will be making more videos! The soundtrack was amazing. Carroll was an amazing musician.

[@cameragirl231987]

you are the best

[@yasinismail3702]

That’s dope

[@andrewgonzalez6208]

It barely resembles Jim Carrol in my opinion

[@louisstiles3811]

I watched this as a little kid and did not understand it. Watching it as an adult it was a really accurate depiction of drug addiction.

[@NostalgiaNeverDies]

It’s a very powerful movie with some amazing performances across the board !

[@JillLeonard-nm8qo]

So true

[@jillybeancadney6229]

I saw this before and after my heroin addiction and this is the realest depiction of addiction. So sad.

[@NostalgiaNeverDies]

[@rebeccamandabach7517]

This movie really hit home with me. We lost our 19 year old to drugs. It broke my heart but als gave me a bit of insight even though I didn't want it at the time. Too raw.

[@NostalgiaNeverDies]

Sending you love Rebecca. I can relate to what you are saying.This movie is heartbreaking and is raw at times.❤️ Cassie

[@Body.By.Bennett]

I am so sorry.. My best friend also passed away at 19 to drugs

[@kim-fd7xk]

I loved this movie and soundtrack. The song" people who died" was moving and honest

[@NostalgiaNeverDies]

It’s such a powerful time isn’t it !

[@ShadowhousePictures]

I just saw this movie for the first time about a month ago. I loved it. The acting was astounding. I’d watch it again

[@NostalgiaNeverDies]

It’s a movie you can watch over and over again. It’s particularly great to watch on on those long hot summer Nights.

[@wolf17238]

I was in 7th grade when this movie came out. I really liked it. I bought it in 2008. I just saw it since buying it. It was almost like seeing it for the first time. What a great piece of cinema. R.I.P. Jim Carroll.

[@Professor__S]

The soundtrack to this film is incredible. I was only 12 when this movie came out, didnt watch it till i was 16. This movie and trainspotting were the 2 movies that made me never want to touch needles.

[@NostalgiaNeverDies]

Same age as me! Both very memorable movies at that age lol

[@MegaThefuture]

One of my favorites, they don't make them like this anymore

[@NostalgiaNeverDies]

It’s a very unique film from the mid 90s. And actually gets more powerful with age.

[@erikasmain]

you worded this in a way and it reminded me of pedro sitting at the milkshake bar thing saying that

[@_nick_d]

Leo & Reggie’s role was awesome

[@joepermenter7228]

Winston knew the mean streets of New York, including abandoned railways.

[@mmucc073]

I think I was 13 when I saw this movie and bc Leo was such a good actor I never had any interest in trying heroin. I'm 40 now and sober as a judge

[@NostalgiaNeverDies]

Best way to be. 👊

[@eunuchprovocateur4734]

River Phoenix was never attached to this movie. He just loved the book and at one point said he would like to play the part if the movie was ever adapted. That doesn't count as trivia attached to the making of the movie. Every actor has dream roles that they would love to play. That doesn't make them attached to any movie if it gets adapted.

Leo is so adorable but River will always be forever so fine❤️❤️ I love River phoenix. It’s a shame that I was born in 1986 but I loved River when I was 3 years old❤️

[@NostalgiaNeverDies]

Thanks so much for the amazing comment. We are big fans of river also and we will be doing some river Phoenix videos on the channel over the summer :)

A brand new “THE LOST BOYS” prequel movie is in the works! What are your thoughts about a possible remake ? Check it out in this SHORT. kzbin.infoUTrU3CuNvy0?feature=share

[@mariafrmdaBX]

Love that movie and the soundtrack is phenomenal!! I’m a Gen X’er so I grew up watching films like Lost Boys and The Basketball Diaries!!

[@NostalgiaNeverDies]

@mariafrmdaBX true greats. You should check out my shorts on the lost boys…. Some good ones in there you dig “x” ;)

[@healthwealthgurus]

Absolutely love it ! Belter video there chum

[@karlepaul6632]

I saw this movie and originally thought: Geez. Heroin is a b*tch. Why would you ever wanna try it in the first place? FWD 11 years later, after being on pain pills for renal cell carcinoma, becoming addicted, eventually leading to heroin itself. Then going through what I did to eventually get sober and seeing the movie again, I can honestly say it accurately depicts what it's like to get off of it. Clean date: 4/15/15

super thanks sent! this is amazing. People need to support this new channel. Please make more videos

[@erikasmain]

this movie has been my favorite for 4 years straight, every time i watch it, it hit homes to me of when my sister used to be addicted like this, watched it and everything, luckily she got rehab but it was traumatizing seeing that as a child. (despite all that the acting and everything is an amazing representation)

[@NostalgiaNeverDies]

Great video ❤

I have not born since this film release , but now i like this movie not cause leo is so unreal but his acting in this movie so great 😊😊😊

[@basiliuspetrakis896]

there's a scene in the movie where carrol sittin next to Dicaprio talkin about heroine

[@mrironlunglungzielungzietv6697]

It's the film that I remember them all for in their early acting days was pretty popular then

[@NostalgiaNeverDies]

Very true. But I’m sure you recall seeing them all young and being impressed. Even wahlberg held his own in this movie.

[@ren3704]

river wouldve nailed that role but leonardo made a good performance

[@NostalgiaNeverDies]

💯 ren ! I’m with you on that one

[@raoulduke344]

The movie was a strange adaption. It was very melodramatic whereas the book was really funny despite being very bleak. I always felt the movie played a bit too much like a PSA when it should have been something more like Trainspotting. Still a good enough movie but definitely check out the book and its sort-of sequel called Forced Entries: The Downtown Diaries.

[@NostalgiaNeverDies]

☀️

[@robertivers4200]

Read the book then saw movie. Loved both

[@NostalgiaNeverDies]

💪💯🍻

[@anthonyfoutch3152]

Jim Carroll grew up in the 60s. The movie was based in the 90s and it did not click right. They should had done it in the 60s. I've probably read The Basketball Diaries 20 times or more.I'd already read the book several times when the movie came out I never cared for the movie.

[@NostalgiaNeverDies]

The movie wasn’t set in the 90s.

[@anthonyfoutch3152]

it wasn't set in the 60s. It was set in the times it came out i thought it was the 90s but what ever decade it was. I think Jim or Siskel and Ebert complained about this too. It just didn't fit right.@@NostalgiaNeverDies

[@enriqueperez4079]

Complete version?

[@anthonyfoutch3152]

For everyone commenting about the movie, READ THE BOOK !!!!! Jim wrote the book when he was 12 and into his teems. Then read anything you can find Jim wrote 1 THEN READ !!!

[@NostalgiaNeverDies]

My man Anthony dropping the facts 💣

[@anthonyfoutch3152]

Forced Entries: The Downtown Diaries is good @@NostalgiaNeverDies

Dope movie as a 90's kid even though it was based in 60's weird but me too

Loved it when I was 12. Always stuck with me as I knew I shouldn’t have been watching it whilst my mum read her magazines 🤣 ahhh the good ole days

[@غيثمحمد-ك1ط]

What actor was with Leo?

[@NostalgiaNeverDies]

Hi. Perhaps you are referring to Marky wahlberg or maybe Ernie Hudson the main man ;) I’m sure that answers your Q. Did you catch the movie recently ?

[@غيثمحمد-ك1ط]

Yeah, I've seen him lately. He's really pretty intense.

[@NostalgiaNeverDies]

@@غيثمحمد-ك1ط you won’t want to miss the video we are making about marky mark soon. Discovering his dark side ❤ much love Cassie. Glad you enjoyed the video

[@غيثمحمد-ك1ط]

Yes true. Where are you?

@@غيثمحمد-ك1ط we are based all over. A few editors USA and Ireland ;)

[@JillLeonard-nm8qo]

I wish I didn't empathize with Jim Carroll. At some points I'd rather not be alive than deal with addiction. Recovery is possible from drugs, alcohol, suicide attempts, to overeating! If you struggle just know if I can do this you can as well. Help is available to anyone who wants it. You don't have to struggle alone.

[@NostalgiaNeverDies]

Thanks for the very important message. Much love ❤️ to you. Cassie x

[@adaparkkinen5746]

But where to Can look the movie?

[@NostalgiaNeverDies]

It’s a true classic now. An amazing movie and depicts the raw times of New York City! A must watch’ I own it on blu-ray

[@adaparkkinen5746]

Okay

[@Shebeethin]

I thought Leo's role was perfect for River Phoenix at the time although Leo is a good actor.

[@JahidAfridiJr.-np7uy]

River huge the best

[@NostalgiaNeverDies]

Guy was a legend

[@robbieanson1218]

But do you even know what this movie is supposed to be about Jim Cole himself so why would he have this complete freak out over a movie that supposed to be about him because this actually happened to him so it would help of you actually talk about the story behind the basketball diaries?
