What i am looking for is a software with extra mega power of compressing files.
I have already tried winrar, winzip but they could not compress it that much ( maximum down to 2-3 mg )
The thing is, i have a movie file what is 120 mg and i want to send it per email and since Yahoo! accept files up to 10 mg so i gatta mega ultra extra compress it some how.

Most video file formats are already compressed, which is why you can't compress them much more than they already are.
Winzip, with maximum compression turned on, is one of the best if not the best compression utility out there. Compressing binary data is a pretty well-known science by now ... once you compress a file down to a certain size, you can't go further than that.
If your file is too big to email with Yahoo, email it in parts using a program like: http://www.whalemail.com

Im assuming you mean MB mega bytes, not milligrams. You can make the movie smaller with Nero depending on how small or viewable you want it. Most people i have seem split up a 700mb movie into multiple .RAR files and then Use a program called PAR to know how to put the files back together. Gets a little confusing but if you look winpar up you can get some good info. Or just transfer the movie into DIVX format which is a compressed movie file.

Most video does NOT compress well, because it already IS compressed an incredible amount. a 120mb video might have been 3 gigs in it's original format.

Winrar has very good compression algorithms. If you can't compress it past 2-3 megs smaller, than that means it's not compressible.
There is a "spanning" function where you can break up the archive into multiple files.

compressing 120 down to 10 is a 12:1 compression ratio. I use WinAce but even it can only deliver about 8:1 so i dont think it will work , what you can do is try to edit the movie file (reduce resolution) then compress it

You can change video format with a program called McFunSoft video solution which you can download for free. You can convert an AVI video to either MPG or WMV, that will probably reduce a 120 mb video to about 80 mb, although the quality will be reduced too.
After that you could try winzip again.

you can only compress some thing to a certain point. i'd suggest breaking the movie into 11 or 12 different files and sending each of them separately.
