I don't watch movies all that often but having seen G.O.R.A. I think Cem Yılmaz is highly overrated. He has shallow humor that depends too much on pop-culture references.
Maybe nostalgia filter is at work here but Kemal Sunal is probably the most beloved Turkish comedy actor. Often got typecast as the naive but well-meaning working class hero. Kibar Feyzo even got banned for a while because it was too leftist(unions are portrayed sympethically and the plot is about Feyzo trying to unite the people of his town to overthrow their landlord, though he gets arrested at the end). It is not theory by any means but enjoyable.
Yeah Yahşi Batı isn't my favorite but I'd watch anything with Demet Evgar. Pek Yaşında was cute though.
