The game that comes to mind is A. Shirov vs J. Polgar, Buenos Aires 1994. This game is a personal favourite of Judit too, and she featured it in her selection of "Memorable Games" in part 2 of her three volume Judit Polgar Teaches Chess series.

Welcome to the Bombastic Bird's, a revolutionary repertoire for one of the most enterprising and underrated openings in chess theory (1.f4). In this series, IM Lawrence Trent uncovers a number of groundbreaking theoretical novelties and new ideas that will soon have scorners of this romantic system regretting they ever doubted its soundness.
