Pardon (2005)
Best Comedy
Many talks about G.O.R.A. as the funniest Turkish movie however, as plot vise, shootings and dialogs "pardon" beats all.
First of all, the director is superb. He had put a lot in the movie, many so-called directors has a lot to learn from Mert Baykal. The script belongs the lead actor Ferhan Sensoy, who is one of the most intellectuals of Turkey. His plots and comedy is unmatched.
I suggest this movie to anyone Turkish and non-Turkish people to see how a country's legal system can be corrupted.
The story is one of the true stories of Turkey about its legal system faults. The acting and directing is superb. I have watched it three times in the same week and laughed each time.
Tosun Pasa (1976)
Are we talking about comedy? or NOT
The only reason that I wanted to write here is the attack made to movie by the first commenter! He said it is crap and gave a list of movies which are NOT comedy at all! (with out a single funny scene!) And said that these are real Turkish movies. Helloo! Are we talking about a comedy movie or not! If you find this movie than you are looking for a comedy, so you have to judge it by that point of view!
The movie is made with a very low budget, but almost all the "onetime-most talented and funniest comedians" acted in it. The story is very simple but do you realize that sometime it needs a genius to create the simplest thing!
As I said they have no budget and story line is simple, lacks of directing, yet the act is wonderful and the scenes, wardrope and background details fantastic, it gives a feel of Ottoman Egypt.
They keep showing it on Turkish TV all the time and whenever I see it, it kept me focused on it, although I had watched it a 1000 times.
By the way, I am a director and script writer who also writes comedies which consists a different style of comedy! So guys honor the people who opened the ways to us! Although they are not "complicated" as we are! (and do not call their work crap!)
