In the Shadow of the Moon (2007). The story of the Apollo space program, which successfully landed 16 astronauts on the surface of the Moon, is told in the words of the astronauts themselves, along with archival footage. It's an awe-inspiring story, especially for those of us who lived through it and realize what a chancy thing it was. Although I commonly think of documentaries as dry, I found this one riveting.
