History AGodAmI / FIlm

* ''Film/BatmanForever'': Neatly subverted, as The Riddler makes a deep dark speech involving the titular line, finished with a [[PowerEchoes deep, echoing invocation]] of "I", then asks, "[[LargeHam Was that over the top? I can never tell!]]"

* [[spoiler: "Sally" (the Tet's central [[BuffySpeak AI... amorphous liquid metal... control thing]] from ''Film/Oblivion2013'' calls itself about being such (in Jack's eyes) at the end]].

* ''{{Dreamscape}}''. When Tommy Raye faces off against Alex Gardner in the President's dream, he tells Alex "In here, I'm God." And, because of his mastery and knowledge of dream warfare, he is.

* Director Cockburn of ''TropicThunder'' gave a speech like this.

* In the climax of ''DarkStar'', [[spoiler:Doolittle succeeds at convincing Bomb #20 that its external sensory data is a lie and it itself is the only thing it can be sure exists, in a desperate gambit to make the bomb disregard an inadvertent signal to detonate while still attached to the ship.]] Unfortunately, the character in question uses this new 'insight' to become a solipsist and eventually decides that, in the absence of anything else having any proof of existence, this means it is, in fact, God. And God said "let there be light"... And there was light...

* Divine from ''PinkFlamingos''. When asked if she believes in God, she replies "I ''am'' God!"

* The villain Benedict declares this in ''LastActionHero'' once he's beginning to fully grasp his newfound ability to cross between dimensions and defy the real-world laws of physics at will...

* In ''AlmostFamous'', rock star Russell Hammond takes too much acid and climbs on a roof at a house party to declare "I am a golden god!" Later, when he has sobered up, he doesn't believe he said it. This is actually in reference to Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin having said the same thing on a hotel balcony.

* While not specifically stating Godhood, Andrew in ''{{Chronicle}}'' implies himself to be an "Apex Predator", giving imagery of a lion not feeling remorse when it eats a gazelle. He then crushes a car, just the drive the point home.

* Loki invokes this in ''Film/TheAvengers'' (in fairness, he ''is'' a Norse god, but in the Marvelverse the Norse gods were SufficientlyAdvancedAliens.) [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Hulk]] [[CurbStompBattle disagrees.]]

* In ''TheMatrixRevolutions'', the Train Man is a PhysicalGod while in his subway:

* In the climax of ''DarkStar'', [[spoiler:Doolittle succeeds at convincing Bomb #20 that its external sensory data is a lie and it itself is the only thing it can be sure exists, in a desperate gambit to make the bomb disregard an order to detonate while still attached to the ship.]] Unfortunately, the character in question uses this new 'insight' to become a solipsist and eventually decides that, in the absence of anything else having any proof of existence, this means it is, in fact, God. And God said "let there be light"... And there was light...

--> '''Train Man:''' "Down here [[DramaticEllipsis …]] I'm God.

--> '''Train Man:''' Don't you get it? I ''built'' this place. Down here, I make the rules. Down here, ''I'' make the threats.

--> '''Train Man:''' "Down here [[DramaticEllipsis …]] ''I'm'' God.

* ''TheManWhoWouldBeKing'' is about a British soldier who is mistaken for the god of an African tribe. He and his fellow soldier decide to go along with the ruse.

* In ''TheMatrixReloaded'', the Train Man is a PhysicalGod while in his subway:

* ''Film/InTheMouthOfMadness'': Sutter Cane, the [[RewritingReality reality-rewriting author]] claims to have become god sometime after completing his latest work, and proves it by turning the world blue.
** However, his true purpose was as a servant to all manners of {{Cosmic Horror|Story}}s and {{Eldritch Abomination}}s, assuming everything in the movie wasn't a figment of the main character's imagination, or part of a meta-gambit by John Carpenter. (Yeah, it's [[ThroughTheEyesOfMadness that kind of movie]].)

* ''Film/GroundhogDay''. After reliving the same day over and over again, and attempting suicide in a vast number of different ways, Phil eventually concludes that he's God, then tentatively adds, "Not ''the'' God. Just ''a'' god." [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by the character himself when he explains logically ''why'' he's come to this conclusion.
** Rita brings him back to Earth thusly: "You're not a god. This is [[spoiler:[[RaisedCatholic twelve years of Catholic school]] ]]talking."

* ''TheManWhoWouldBeKing'' is practically the TropeCodifier.

* ''{{Frankenstein|1931}}'' (1931): [[UrExample One of the earliest examples]]. After Henry's famous [[LargeHam "It's alliiive!"]], when he goes on to say [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xos2MnVxe-c "Now I know what it feels like to be God!"]] Originally, that part of the line was cut because the censors said it was blasphemous (which it is). It was cut off by a thunderbolt; the full line wasn't restored until ''1999'', 12 years after most of the other excised scenes were restored in full.

* ''TheLawnmowerMan'' (has [[InNameOnly nothing but the title in common]] with the Creator/StephenKing short story), where Jobe declares his intention to be the "Cyberchrist." His defining line (referring to {{Cyberspace}}): "[[PunctuatedForEmphasis I am God here!]]"

* Xerxes in ''ThreeHundred'' claims himself to be a "[[GodEmperor God-King]]".

* From ''{{Caligula}}'': "I have existed from the morning of the world and I shall exist until the last star falls from the night. Although I have taken the form of Gaius Caligula, I am all men as I am no man and therefore I am a god."

--> '''Train Man:''' "Down here {{Beat}} [[DramaticEllipsis …]] I'm God.

* Divine from ''PinkFlamingos''. When asked if she believes in God, she replies "I ''am'' God!"

:: After kicking Guile's ass for the next couple of minutes, Bison delivers one of the [[HamAndCheese hammiest lines ever recorded]].

:: Considering he's directly paraphrasing [[Literature/TheBible Luke 10:18]], he's probably not just claiming godhood, but that he is the Christian or Abrahamic God Himself.

* Freddy Krueger in ''ANightmareOnElmStreet''.

** And in the remake

* In ''TheLastAirbender'', Admiral Zhao has one when he's about to [[spoiler: kill the moon spirit]].

* ''Film/GroundhogDay''. After reliving the same day over and over again, and attempting suicide in a vast number of different ways, Phill eventually concludes that he's God, then tentatively adds, "Not ''the'' God.

* ''TheLawnmowerMan'' (has [[InNameOnly nothing but the title in common]] with the StephenKing short story), where Jobe declares his intention to be the "Cyberchrist." His defining line (referring to {{Cyberspace}}): "[[PunctuatedForEmphasis I am God here!]]"

* Inverted and/or parodied in the movie ''{{Ghostbusters}}''

* ''{{Disney/Aladdin}}'': Jafar does a textbook example of the rundown of this trope, wishing to become an all-powerful genie. In his following exultations, he mentions how the universe is now his to control, even going so far as to create a small solar system between his hands just for the hell of it. This is until Aladdin reminds him what the other half of "phenomenal cosmic power" is... "itty bitty living space".

* Deacon Frost's goal in the first ''{{Film/Blade}}'' movie is to become La Magra, the vampires' Blood God. ([[{{Warhammer40000}} no, not that one]]) He actually does succeed at it, proving immune to silver and far faster and stronger than even Blade, but even a god has to kneel before [[spoiler:anti-coagulants]].

* Loki invokes this in ''{{Film/The Avengers}}'' (in fairness, he ''is'' a Norse god, but in the Marvelverse the Norse gods were SufficientlyAdvancedAliens.) [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Hulk]] [[CurbStompBattle disagrees.]]
