I'm not sure how popular this thread will be, but I think it would be fun. If you have documented chess games you have played that you are proud of, we'd love to see them! Just post the pgn, and we can discuss each of them. Also, if you find a professional game that particularly blows your mind, share it with us.
I'll go first. This was a blitz game in which I had a fairly cool mate. The whole thing gets kicked off with a bishop sacrifice. After I studied the game, I learned that it was not a sound sacrifice, and it could have been repelled with accurate play, but I'm still proud that I made it work. There is one move my opponent had even later on that would have forced me to take a perpetual check for a draw. In the heat of battle however, we both missed it. Can you find it? I'm playing white.

Edit: There is no time control entered here because I had to save it in Chessmaster after the fact. Chessbase wont let you save unless you're a paying member, which I am not. The clock in game was seven minutes, with no time added on per move.
