  any movie in which a heroin addicted Leonardo DiCaprio jerks off on a roof deserves at least 4+ stars.

  Based on the autobiographical journals of Jim Carroll, the basketball diaries revolves around the life of him and a bunch of his friends and their descent into the hell hole of drug addiction and crime.

  He played his character with such a passion and he did it so well. There were scenes were I just cried.
  There is one scene where he is crying at his mums front door and begging for money, that scene deserves an Oscar alone.
