The fight with the Balrog was, in a word, glorious . However, I find it such of a tease when he recounted what happened to him after. The story of that doesn't help much with the plot of the movies, but it's another side of LotR that mystifies this constant LotR reader, and I can't help but wonder about it.
It's funny to think that Gandalf is probably the frequently flash-backed character in all of the movies, I think. And it says so much about him.
