One of the best movie performances for one of the most endearing characters that I still love today. Everytime I see him on screen I'm amazed whether its him conveying warmth and wisdom talking to Frodo, or saying "You shall not pass" or talking about the history of Middle Earth. Gandalf is right up there with Magneto, Ledger's Joker, and Darth Vader for iconic characters to me.
9/10
Fun fact: Christopher lee (saruman),the only cast member of the seris to actually meet tolkien, was told by the author he would be a shoe in to be Gandalf. But imo Lee is as good of a saruman as Ian is as gandalf
10. As close to perfection as possible.
