Bogoliubov - Alekhine , Hastings 1922,
Alekhine sacrificed both Rooks and his Queen, promoted a Pawn to a second Queen, sacrificed it, promoted a Pawn to a third Queen, sacrificed it, and was advancing a Pawn to promote to a fourth Queen when Bogo resigned.

Not one you would call great but really interesting: Micheal Stean vs Walter Browne ( Nice 1974 ).

As far as I'm concerned, the best game (and the best move being Black's 28th move) I've seen is Schmid - Gligoric, EU-chT, Hamburg 1965
All of the ones you guys have mentioned are weak. This one is the real deal:

Impressive. I like Serper v Nikolaidis 1993 and Diemer v. Trommsdorf 1973
as per me..... the one of the greatest game was the "king hunt"or "king move in middle blocked position". i think you may have mentioned it on 1st comment.

How about Gurgenidze-Tal 1957, probably the best Benoni ever played.

"The Opera Game" Paul Morphy vs Duke Carl and Count Isouard. Shows how to create an unstoppable attack using all of your pieces in tandem. Granted it is a short game but chess games during that time were relatively short based on the Romantic style of chess that was in favor at that time.
I don’t know but I think this game I played is pretty great
