Stork vs Gorush proleague finals 2006 was pretty flashy back then, but maybe not good enough for top 5.
From the GGPlay vs Iris finals i would say that the most exciting game was game 3, were it turned from a stomp to a huge comeback. Game 5 was incredible too (god the fight for that 3rd gas) but mostly because it was the 5th game.
And most memorable games have already been mentioned.
I think it was game 4 actually? Game 5 I seem to recall was a 5 minute 2 gate zealot rush on requiem, so it's no wonder you'd remember game 4 as the last one haha
Savior beating Stork by constantly dropping hydras and lurkers in his main. morphing wounded hydras, picking up wounded...you get the picture. i'm afraid i can't describe that game any better, and the actual league/season/round eludes me.

Gom 2 ro16 on desperado, idk this game was ok, but it doesnt strike me as top 5 all time tho.
Personally Iloveoov vs Darkelf on Monty Hall is one of the best TvT games I have ever seen. I won't spoil for the people who have not seen it yet (and I am sadly sure there are many of you). Enjoy~

yup. rush hour was game 4. It was awesome and definitely deserves a spot IMO if no other PvZs are taking the top 5
Anybody remember the game between iloveoov and Yellow on U-Boat? That was such a sick comeback by yellow, even though he lost in a really close fight at the end. (can't find link)
Reach vs Sea on Hitch Hiker was ridiculous
Reach vs ChoJJa on Rush Hour 3 was CRAZY and of course the game where reach did his monster maelstrom
so actually my question is - what makes a good game?
the drama leading up to it? great play by both players? awesome play by one player and ok play by the other? what if it's fairly one-sided but the loser puts up a good defense? epic cheeses?

All of them could make a game really sick but you know it'll be only game with cheese, which will qualify to the one of the best games ever. And the game is Boxer vs oov for sure.
I definitely agree with the two already mentioned. Honestly, TvZ is really difficult to think of games that are amazing in which the terran actually won. There are some good BoxeR vs YellOw games, but honestly the quick ones are more exciting (but less fitting for this). The Boxer vs Savior game on Monty Hall is the only one that really stands out to me.
GGPlay vs Iris game 5 is an absolute must. Just like the sAviOr vs Iris game, Iris is doing everything right to win this game, and yet somehow GGPlay steps it up a notch. GGPlay was playing out of his mind that entire OSL, actually, coming from behind like none other. Noting that...
GGPlay vs Flash game 4 on Monty Hall in the semis was amazing as well (game 5 was great, but has less stand-alone power). GGPlay is down 2-1 and facing the Monty Hall zerg graveyard. Everyone is saying he needs to use the Silver build to give himself a chance. He doesn't, and he plays one of those amazing ZvTs Where he keeps the pressure on all game, and every time there's a break Where the observer can go back to his base, he has the next level of tech already incoming. One-sided but definitely a top game.
Jaedong vs Flash on Loki II is probably the best game out of all the great games the two have played, and that says a lot.
Jaedong vs Sea on Python was not only nuts, but is a huge historic marker for the 'mutalisks as a long-term strategy' era. I was left speechless after this.
GoRush vs NaDa on Luna, YATGK MSL Finals: Both of them play so, so amazingly. I think this is the best TvZ in which both players play well, even late game. Unlike so many other TvZs that end when ultras appear, NaDa doesn't crash and burn. JD vs Flash may be more 'perfect', but this game is more entertaining. For those reasons, this is probably the number one TvZ I can think of.

The ending was sick but the game was.. I don't think it can make a top 5, because apart from the end it was oov walking around with like 2x yellow's supply in marines, then walking all of them into lurkers ;P
EDIT: @Post above, god damnit - I should just make TvZ top 10 games instead, there are just so many awesome TvZs >__<
Stork vs GGplay, the 1.5 hour game where literally every unit was used and every place on andromeda was mined out O_o Was pretty epic in my opinion, but then again people like different things so...
