I have just been cleaning out the attic space and found some of my old 80's vhs tapes, most of them i have now on dvd but one of them i had totally forgot i had...
Willy Milly a.k.a Something Special
The movie is about a girl called Milly,she thinks life would be alot easier if she was a boy, so her best friends brother offers her a potion and if she takes it during a solar eclipse her deepest wish will come true...she goes through with it and ends up with a D**K, so she as to decide whether to spend her life as a boy or a girl, that's when the fun starts...
I really enjoyed it and i will be getting it on dvd. Posts: 235 | From: Hill Valley | Registered: Apr 2008 | Site Updates: 54

I'm watching this right now while I'm waiting at the airport. It's pretty funny to me, everyone looking over my shoulder to see what I'm watching
Anyway, fun movie, glad I have some time to watch it again. I brought along 'Up the Creek' also, so maybe I'll watch that on the plane. 2 movies in one day, woohoo!

WHAT TIME DO YOU CALL THIS?! You left the forum to get a beer and said "I'll be back in a sec"... YEARS AGO!

This is a good one. As Wiz says it's also known as 'Something Special'. Not on DVD yet.

From looking around at other sites selling it, apparently the disc has no region encoding, I hope it doesn't mean it's a low quality transfer as a lot of 'region 0' releases don't have the care taken over their DVD transfer as well known titles.

Who knew?! That looks like a cheap release... but it might be better than the VHS!

I only have one officialy produced DVD that has worse picture/sound than VHS: "Breakdance 2" which is strange because the "Breakdance" DVD I have was produced by the same company and the picture quality is just a obout flawless, yet "Breakdance 2" looks like it was recorded from a NTSC VHS straight onto PAL DVD with no regards for 3:2 pulldown removal, colour/brightness correction or an extremely unpleasant high-pitch whine in the audio.
Other bare bones region 0 DVDs I have are actually pretty good quality like the Galaxina DVD I got for a quid which is anamorphic widescreen (love that film, it's soo cheesy).

Worst DVD quality I ever saw: 'Stacy's Knights'. What made it worse was the fact I saw it on TV a week later and it had a perfect picture!

I wonder why they've never given this one a decent DVD release,not seen this in years,since it first hit the rental shelves in the uk back in 86.
I remember it being good fun.
