, skylark! How could I forget Rudi's 1996 US Nationals & Meryl & Charlie's Worlds Samson & Delilah (2009, I think)? Ashley Cain & Timothy's LeDuc's US Nationals FS & their epic K&C moments were priceless!
Speaking of your name, Todd had some thrillers as well - Swing Kids, First Knight, and 1492 are among my faves and anything operatic as well. Fantastic spins, great speed in and out of jumps, footwork, heart & soul fully invested in his music.

Most of the ones that "mesmerize" me have been listed so I'm going to add a few more of my favorites.
Katia Gordeeva - Mahler - Symphony no. 5 A tribute to Sergei - did I not only shed a few tears, I was inconsolably crying
Berezhnaya/Sikharulidze - Lady Caliph 2002 Olympics SP - perfection
Gordeeva/Grinkov - Reverie - 1994 Exhibition - the way they cared for each other awwww
Mishkutenok/Dmitriev - 1994 Exhibition (I don't know the name of the song but it's so haunting - reflection of their relationship leading to them returning to competition in 1994
Pappadakis/Cizeron - all of them although 2019 Worlds FS topped it all

In no particular order:
- Papadakis/Cizeron's Moonlight Sonata
- Lu Chen's Butterfly Lovers
- Wagner's Moulin Rouge
- Michelle Kwan's Fields of Gold
- Shen/Zhao's Turandot
- Chan's Chopin Etude
- Hanyu's Seimei
-Bourne/Kraatz's Riverdance + Jason Brown's Riverdance at Nationals -- the latter of which I will watch over and over again and use as a prime example to anyone I introduce figure skating to

We seen to have quite different ideas of moving. Some seen to be favourite performances that draw an emotional reaction. I was thinking of one's that had made me cry. .. the are not necessarily ones I will rewatch as much as some others. This is just a comment on the differences of meaning/ interpretation, nothing else.

Figure skating is without a doubt, a quintessential blend of sport and artistry.
Most Moving Performances
(1) Mirai Nagasu, "Miss Saigon" - a thrilling, emotional ride which put together a daring layout with beautiful and emotive artistry and it seemed to me like an almost tangible representation of her journey as a figure skater
(2) Michelle Kwan, "Fields of Gold" - ... a beauty on the ice overflowing with passion for the sport and a bittersweet, melancholic performance that can render anyone speechless
(3) Lu Chen, "Butterfly Lovers" - Lu Chen is an astonishingly creative and emotive individual, able to wear her heart on her sleeves and she truly flowed and looked like a butterfly
(4) Sui Wenjing/Han Cong, "Rain, In Your Black Eyes" - they came back after much uncertainty and nailed their Free, showing the world once again why they are one of the top pairs in the field currently
(5) Cain/Leduc, "W.E." - their 2019 U.S. Nationals performance of their Free was thrilling and showed the world that they will push the U.S. pairs and continue to move it forward
(6) Ashley Wagner, "Moulin Rouge!" - for years, Ashley carried the U.S. ladies on her back and during her peak, she was one of the best artists on the ice and she demonstrated that perfectly with this Free
(7) Mariah Bell, "Divenire" - although blotted by the recent controversy, 2018/2019 has been a breakout season for Bell and this Free is spectacular
(8) Vincent Zhou, "Exogenesis: Symphony Part 3" - he has improved so much and certain bias against him aside, he deserves credit for making me tear up
Obviously there are tons more, but as of right now, those are my top 7.
