Watch them all including the ones in my first comment :-) There are a few more on Youtube eg. George Andrews' presentation etc.
Watch particularly Prof. Ken Ono's videos where you can literally feel his Admiration and Reverence for Ramanujan. He credits his Career/Repairing relationships with his Father/Family to their shared love of Ramanujan and his Mathematics (his autobiography is named My Search for Ramanujan: How I Learned to Count). I found it highly inspiring and motivating and encourage all students/teachers to watch them.
K. Srinivasa Rao has said, "As for his place in the world of Mathematics, we quote Bruce C. Berndt: 'Paul Erdős has passed on to us Hardy's personal ratings of mathematicians. Suppose that we rate mathematicians on the basis of pure talent on a scale from 0 to 100. Hardy gave himself a score of 25, J. E. Littlewood 30, David Hilbert 80 and Ramanujan 100.'"
Thank you. I'll watch them. It's incredible that Hardy gave Ramanujan a perfect 100, no reserves at all. I guess that only comes due to the close interactions with him.
Another marvelous mathematician story is that of Yitang Zhang. The Newyorker had a good article about him if you haven't seen it yet.

Also see Ramanujan's wikipedia page which contains lots of details/quotes/links to books/videos/etc. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Srinivasa_Ramanujan
