Mike Brady has left his family, moved to Canada, and joined the air force. He has risen to the rank of colonel and commands Canada's largest air base. But he secretly leads a life of perversion. His crimes begin with merely breaking into women's homes and stealing their panties, but they escalate to assault, rape, and finally murder. He is caught but escapes and flees back to the United States, where he becomes a secret agent. Strangely, just after doing so, he sings "Everybody Loves Somebody" in a scene which has nothing to do with the rest of this movie. Then he embarks on a quest to save Washington, DC, when a criminal mastermind kidnaps the scientist Norman Solaris to use his laser technology to destroy the city.
EDIT: It's been a full day with no response, so I'll put the answer here under a spoiler cover.
The first movie is An Officer And A Murderer (2012). It depicts the true story of Russell Williams, the commander of the Royal Canadian Air Force's Trenton base. Gary Cole, who played Mike Brady in the movies which parodied the Brady Bunch television series, played Williams in the movie.
(On a side note, if you're interested in true crime cases, this is a fascinating and unusual one. Most people who commit such acts as adults also did things in adolescence which indicated psychological disturbances; torturing small animals, et cetera. Williams later acknowledged that he had perverted impulses and desires for a very long time before he took any action. Yet by all indications he led a clean life and didn't perv out until he was past forty. Strange.)
The second movie is Murderer's Row (1966), one of the Matt Helm series of spy spoof movies which starred crooner and Rat Pack member Dean Martin, who had several signature songs including "Everybody Loves Somebody."
So ... An Officer And A Murderer's Row.
