Two big ones for mine. Firstly, the last day of Adelaide in the 06/07 Ashes; Strauss given out early in the day off a clearly not out bat-pad to Warne, who then built up a head of steam and saw England bowled out.
Also there's Justin Langer's famous not out caught behind decision against Pakistan in Hobart where he and Gilchrist won the game for the Aussies. As he himself said, he absolutely smashed it.

Sydney '08 obv, we would have won easily.
That Test we won by 1 wicket against Australia in Mohali would've probably gone Australia's way as well. Ojha was plumb iirc. But then again Ishant was clearly not out as well so it sort of balanced out. |

91/92 World Cup match between NZ and Australia would have been ruined by DRS because Dean Jones wouldn't have been run out. He probably deserved to be out though. Good intent shown by the umpires there.

Actually, the underarm ODI could have been completely different with DRS because Greg Chappell, who made 90, was caught in the deep by Martin Snedden when he was on about 50, but neither umpire saw it because both were looking at the creases to check for a short run at the very moment the catch was taken.
Earlier in the day Greg Chappell, when 52, had refused to walk when Snedden, at deep midwicket, claimed what appeared to be a low but fair catch off Cairns; as neither umpire was watching the incident - they said they were looking for short runs - New Zealand's impassioned appeals for a catch were in vain. From Cricinfo's report of the game.

This test match which probably featured one of the best test hundreds in a losing cause and one of the best displays of good off-spin bowling too (1st Test: India v Pakistan at Chennai, Jan 28-31, 1999 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo) could have been different if the DRS were to be around.
Ganguly was given caught behind when the ball had brushed off the the pads of one of the close-in fielders and bumped on the ground twice before Moin pouched it in a diving attempt. Had he stayed around and scored even some 20-odd runs, the glorious 136 wouldn't have gone down in the books as a ton in a lost cause. |

And this too.
4th Test: Australia v West Indies at Adelaide, Jan 27-Feb 1, 1961 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo Probably one of the most interesting of draws ever played in the game of cricket, the result would have been different if Kline had been adjudged lbw to what was a plumb dismissal only to be not given by the umpire. |
