About this quote
"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us." is preserved here as a credited line from Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), not as an anonymous standalone saying. The combination of fantasy and adventure storytelling and Ian McKellen's performance is part of what gives the line its staying power, which is why this detail page keeps the movie, character, and actor together in the same context.
