Rasputin: The Mad Monk (1966)

Directed by Don Sharp.

Starring Christopher Lee.

IMDB

One of my favourite Hammer Horror films thanks to a nasty and memorable performance by the classy Christopher Lee. He is just so convincingly evil that he more than makes up for a somewhat lackluster plot and lack of atmosphere.

The only more menacing character I can think of is Spencer Tracy's take on Dr. Jeckyll in the 1941 version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (make sure to check that one out, even if you're not a fan of older horror films.)

Lightning Bolt (1966)

This came out in the golden age of the spy movie and was directed by Antonio Margheriti who would become more famous for horror films like Cannibal Apocalypse and Seven Deaths In The Cat's Eye under the pseudonym of Anthony M. Dawson.

This trailer has all the necessary ingredients...an evil genius bent on ruling the world and a narrator who actually uses the term "sexciting". Brilliant.

The electrified title card alone is worth the view.

Directed by Antonio Margheriti.

Starring Anthony Eisley and Wandisa Guida (originally billed as Wandisa Leigh).
