There are several movies set in Turkey that has been remembered quote by quote such as Hababam Sinifi, or the works of Zeki Alasya and Metin Akpinar. This one has been the greatest work of Cem Yilmaz, a collection of his observations and witty comments on Turkish lifestyle. When you ask people about a quote from Hababam Sinifi, almost everyone in the country will remember and show their appreciation of the work. Just as Hababam Sinifi, GORA has been the reference point for many jokes that has been used by all age groups in Turkey. I for myself watched it at least a dozen times and still can find novel jokes and anecdotes while watching it. It is full of both subtle and explicit jokes in every scene. It would not be fair to expect a great cinematic experience from this very movie as scenario and the rest is secondary to the jokes, and it is an early work of Cem Yilmaz and his crew together. However, if you want to study Turkish culture, this movie will be one of the greatest examples of the society.
