Mao Asada. Black gloves = awesome and terrifying!

Pan's Labyrinth
300 (it's the manipulation of rhetorical strategies)
Twilight: New Moon (when she's depressed and/or shots of the landscape and rain)

TV Miniseries:
Doctor Zhivago (version with Keira Knightley etc)

Music Videos:
Taylor Swift, "Love Story"
Taylor Swift, "You Belong With Me"

Songs:
Tim Buckley, "Song To The Siren"

Nancy Sinatra, "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)"

Novels:

Poems:
Edna St. Vincent Millay, "Dirge Without Music"

I have to append here that I think something from Robin McKinley's books and definitely the Darkangel books has also made me tear up, though I can't quite remember which one.

Finally, in utmost absurdity, my pomegranate earrings from Coryell Design.

(Yes, I bought something. . . and I'm barely managing not to buy EVERYTHING: http://www.etsy.com/shop/CoryellDesign.)

Cecelia in Thesisland: Seems pretty accurate to me!

Things I am trying to save:

My money
My time
My cell phone minutes
My visitor parking passes
My teeth

sigh.
