Kemal Sunal's most beloved films on the 25th anniversary of his death


1. The Chaos Class Series (1975-1981)
Kemal Sunal, identified with the character "Şaban the Cow", became the most unforgettable face of Hababam Sınıfı. The series, which covers the funny and sincere aspects of student life, continues to appeal to all age groups.

2. Step Brothers (1976)
In this film, which is based on complex family relationships and misunderstandings, the Ramazan character played by Sunal makes the audience laugh out loud.

3. Tosun Pasha (1976)
Şaban, disguised as "Tosun Pasha" in the struggle between Tellioğulları and Seferoğulları, completely changes the course of events. The film is known as one of the most colorful comedies of Yeşilçam.

4. The King of the Doormen (1976)
This production, which satirically portrays class differences through the eyes of the apartment doorman Seyit, is both thought-provoking and humorous.

5. King of the Scavengers (1977)
The naive but proud love story of municipality cleaner Nazım is a masterpiece that blends the streets of Istanbul with humor.

6. Cow Saban (1978)
Focusing on the individual story of the character in Hababam, this film once again conquers hearts with Sunal's pure and honest character.

7. Polite Feyzo (1978)
The story of Feyzo, who rebels against the ağa system, questions the social structure in Anatolia through humor.

8. Davaro (1981)
Memo's struggle with bride price and customs after returning from Germany contains both cultural and sociological criticisms.

9.Zubuk (1980)
Adapted from Aziz Nesin’s novel of the same name, this film stars Kemal Sunal as Zübükzade İbrahim, a fraudulent politician who disguises himself in every way for his own interests. Using concepts such as religion, morality, and homeland to deceive the public, Zübük reveals the dirty face of the political system with a satirical style. This film, in which Kemal Sunal steps outside of his classic “naive” roles, is one of the most striking examples of the black comedy genre in Turkish cinema.

This production satirizes false beliefs in medicine, revealing that a man who is glorified as a "doctor" in the eyes of the villagers actually has nothing to do with health.
