14 people voted in the ekolay poll. A larger poll of film professionals would have produced similar results. For example, the Ankara Cinema Association list has a very similar top 10, so I think it's a fairly accurate list of Turkish film professionals' favorite films. The ekolay list also coincides more closely with the opinions of worldwide critics.
The Sinema Magazine list was voted by the public and focuses more on popular cinema, especially comedy (39/100 are comedies), and many of these comedies are difficult for non-Turkish people to appreciate, so I think the Sinema Magazine would be less interesting for non-Turkish people.
It might be a good idea to adopt both lists to please everyone, like what they did with the 2 official Russian lists (one that focuses more on critically-acclaimed films, and one that focuses more on popular films).
I think the older comments here were written with regard to the the eKolay list (https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/ekolays+best+turkish+films/mjf314/) which was the official list for Turkish cinema until 2020.
not comprehensive list. only 13 people voted for. a bad list. This list should have been. http://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/top+100+turkish+movies+by+sinema+magazine/sulism/

Pleased to see none of those 70's rascal class "comedies" on the list. For me, that pretty much guarantees this is a good and serious list.thyron
