Finally found this program on YouTube. Beautiful program and one of my favorites of Michelle's.

From the 1998 US Pro Figure Skating Classic:
Michelle Kwan's technical program - "Finale" from Carmen Suite

Ilia Kulik's spread eagle into (giant) 3A.


Absolutely magnificent.

I love that one, but can I just add, ANY 3A of his? I love them!

Kulik: Ina Bauer into 3Lz =D
Entrance to 3Lz in "Revolutions"
Cantilever
One-foot half-axel
His entire Liebestraume program

Abt: Another vote for his flying combination into sit spin
And another vote for his camel spin
Also a vote for his quad toe
And one heck of a vote for his edges!


Plushenko: Death drop
Butterfly
Spreadeagle (especially in his original presentation of Nijinsky where it was spreadeagle into 3lz (I think)
4T-3T-3Lo (duh)
3A-1/2Lo-3F
Camel spin/arabesque spiral (guh, his extension )
And of course, the hip swivel


Yagudin: 3A always
Footwork (I prefered Winter over MITIM)
4T-3T-2Lo
Sit spin
I need to watch more of his programs because I'm sure there's more

[misskarne]

I forgot to add:


Kulik's aerial cartwheel (it's too big nowadays to call it a butterfly).

[skaters2bl]

Brian Orser - beautiful, delayed axel (we never see them from anyone since COP)

Any spin by Lambiel

Yagudin - triple axel

... and after tonight, Patrick Chan's amazing quad - the best ever!!!!

[satchelpooch318]

While not the most super-exciting of moves, I did greatly enjoy seeing Cynthia Phaneuf's Layback-change-Layback spin in her LP this season. I guess it's b/c it's a rarely-done spin, and she didn't suck when she performed it, LOL.
