Memento (2000)

Corrected entry: The name of this film is a pun. "Me mento" in Latin translates as "I lie to myself." These are the words Leonard writes at the end of the film on the scrap paper with Teddy's license plate on it.

Correction: I can find no Latin verb that would have the form mento. The correct Latin for "I lie" would be "mentior" as the ment- stem verb for "lie" in Latin is a deponent verb (an irregular verb that takes the passive form even though not passive).
