Just two days ago I watched "The Last Man on the Moon" with my son (on Netflix). Good documentary, but sad to see him pass. Those Apollo astronauts were truly remarkable people.

I highly and frequently recommend "For All Mankind" as another great documentary if you haven't already seen it.
I second your recommendation - a great film. The Saturn V launch sequence is always extremely impressive.

I'd also recommend "In the Shadow of the Moon" [1], which focuses on the more recent recollections of the Apollo astronauts, including Gene Cernan.

The HBO mini series "From the Earth to the Moon" is also excellent. It's based on Andrew Chaikin's book, "A Man on the Moon" which I also recommend.
