The 6th Day (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0216216/)

I think I liked Multiplicity (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117108/) 
better. Well, maybe not. Don't remember stuff blowing up.

Ghost in the Shell (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113568/) did it too in 
one of the episodes. Plus lots of androids, robots, AIs, and cyborgs.

If you want a really disturbing look at where whole person cloning could 
take us, read "Fat Farm" by Orson Scott Card. It's in "Maps in a Mirror" 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maps_in_a_Mirror).

Heck, Doctor Who even had a cloning episode this season.
