Super Mario 64 had some deaths, the drowning always creeps me out.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHhOjFiIDCE geez, nintendo knew how to make really realistic, creepy drowning deaths. :x
Adding Majora's Mask as well.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
I hate how they basically restart the game, at least SotN and the DS ones do. So annoying.

Always enjoyed the game over screen from Exile on the PCE.

Missile Command's bright yellow flash with "THE END" in large red letters once the nuclear holocaust consumes the world.

Just "the end"... It feels a bit understated and somehow about as surreal to me as the rest of Umihara Kawase.

How about some more modern ones? I always liked how Dead Space visually depicted the game game over screen with your brutal death. Or even more recently, all of the Tomb Raider 2013 game over screens . .

Sega Rally's is the best.
I think people are just picking Dark Souls because they pick Dark Souls for everything

Well I don't expect people to chime in and say " Yeah you're right that's exactly why I picked it" because they aren't even aware that is why they picked it. They are in denial.
Sega Rally all the way. Game over man, game over.

That incredibly disturbing, 5 minute long forced death/credits speed up in El Shaddai upon fulfilling a certain condition
. That really affected me for a few hours after it happened.

Metal Gear Solid (the original game) had an awesome game over screen. "Snake? SNAKE?! SSSNNNAAAAAAKKKKKEEEEEE!!!!" *gunshot like someone executed Snake*
Of course, it makes no sense that a military commander would have a melodramatic reaction like that to one of his agents dying, but the game was so damn new and fresh and exciting in so many ways, it just fit somehow.
Resident Evil 4 made a subtle change to the RE game over screen that had a lot of impact. I remember the first time I died in the game... I believe Dr. Salvator chainsawed my head off as I stared, mouth agape for what seemed like a long time."You Are Dead." I said said aloud, "You're goddamned right I am."
I think I love every single thing about RE4. It's been a long time since I felt that way about a game.
Another one that I think fit the game's mood perfectly was in Rule of Rose: "And they lived happily ever after." Chilling, in context.

I was going to say that the Star Fox "nooooooooooooooo" were better than "snake ? Snaaaaakeeeee" ... but ... my favorite has to be Slippy's "Snake ? Snaaaaakeee" wich is not exactly a Game over Screen, but since it is a mix of 2 death screens than it deserves a mention

I am on my phone but the new Guild Wars 2 content has a funny game over screen. I am talking about the Super Adventure Box. You are tied on this pole with bombs, a pendulum blade, lava filling the room around the raised platform, and spike walls coming in to crush. I am sure there is a video on youtube. I just can't be bothered to search it out right now.

Agree with everyone who said Nocturne.
But also, King's Quest VI: http://youtu.be/HLSviwsbA_k?t=45s
The neat part is later on in the game you can explore the game over area and see what is beyond that door. Also, your game over will change if you die while you're already there, so that's kind of cool.
