Gandalf vs The Balrog - The Lord of the Rings

You shall not pass!

Gandalf's battle with the Balrog in Moria from The Fellowship Of The Ring and The Two Towers joined together.

Wikipedia info:
Gandalf led the company across the Bridge of Khazad-dûm, until a Balrog came to face the company. The vicious demon of the First Age – commonly called Durin's Bane – faced the Grey Wizard on the bridge of Khazad-dûm.

Gandalf broke the bridge in front of him with his staff, which also broke in the process, but as the Balrog fell it wrapped its whip around Gandalf's knees, dragging him into the abyss.

One of the things I love most about this clip is when Gandalf turns to confront the Balrog. It flames and roars, and as Gandalf starts his speech it begins to dawn on you that this feeble guide who entertained children with fireworks is nothing you thought he was. And just as you realize this, *poof*, he is lost. This is what movies are all about.

It's a small detail, but I love how Glamdring, Gandalf's sword, sings to him as he dives toward and catches it (it's hard to make out on the youtube version). It has this hum that sounds like menace and doom.

The craftsmanship that went into these movies is simply stunning.
