I am not suggesting that you replace any of the choices with this. But, I thought you might get a chuckle out of this television movie:
The Clone Master (1978 TV Movie)
In order to test the validity of his experiments on cloning, a scientist makes clones of himself, but it causes problems that he didn't foresee.
Likewise, even though I'm not suggesting you should use this for your poll, I suspect you would enjoy this episode of Red Dwarf (TV Series), Rimmerworld (1993).
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0684176/plotsummary
The Starbug crew returns to the Simulant's battleship to salvage for food-supplies. But Rimmer, who has been diagnosed of a tense nervous disorder, escapes on-board a escape pod which has no steering. And is whisked away through a time-hole, only to find himself on a planet inhabited by clones of his own self.

'Moon' with Sam Rockwell:

I guess he is pretty much better than some of them on the list.
