Depending on how you determine the concept of eugenics, any of these may be
relevant:

Blade Runner (1982)
The Boys from Brazil (1978)
Alien: Resurrection (1997)
The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996)
The Island (2005)
Able Edwards (2004)
Humanoids from the Deep (1980)

...not much help with race/dis/sex pre-1945 though
