France 1993 - I read a headline that pointed out that this election created the largest Right wing majority in the Assembly since 1815.

India 2004 - Shock UPA victory over NDA which was something I was fairly alone not in predicting put pointing out was quite possible when all Indian political pundits said it was a NDA landslide for sure.

USA 2016 - similar to India 2004.  I did not predict a Trump victory but was sure he would for sure come close and could potentially win. 

USA 1924 - I really like both major party candidates and would have been very happy to vote for either one.

Canada 1993 - The PC meltdown was just fun to watch regardless who I supported.

UK 2015 - I really loved how Cameron used the SNP as a bogeyman to swing the English vote behind the CON

ROC 2007 - the KMT landslide was just incredible and most likely will never be repeated by any political party on ROC in the future.

Japan 2012 - LDP-KP wins 2/3 majority with a PR vote share less than 40%  Just fun to watch the LDP-KP landslide in FPTP seats over a divided anti-LDP vote even though I was opposed to LDP that election.

One I missed mentioning was 1980 India.  Indira Gandhi wins a 2/3 majority after being left for dead after 1977 and seeing her INC party split twice.  Everyone expected a hung parliament but the result was a shock majority for Indira Gandhi's INC.
