Between July 14 and July 24, 2019, the @ApolloLego project reenacted the Apollo 11 mission on Twitter. Every image was posted 50 years to the minute after the original event it depicts.
Obviously, the only thing to do after that was to spend a week writing a script that would take the original planning spreadsheet and automagically turn it into a full movie, complete with a continuous mission timer! (...and then spend another few weeks tweaking everything so the work spent on writing the script was almost certainly pointless. But fun!)
All audio is from the original mission recordings, as made available by apolloinrealtime.org.
Launch: 03:30
Descent: 23:15
Lunar EVA: 30:32
Re-entry: 58:18
