V for Vendetta (2005)

Corrected entry: The mouse hole in which Evey finds Valerie's message is (when standing in the doorway) on the right side of the cell. But when Evey gets out, we see that her cell (number 5) is the last one of the left row, meaning there only is a full wall to its right, with cell number 4 to its left (which is consistent with what we we see in the doctor's memories). Thus, the hole does not link cell 5 to cell 4 (Valerie's). Since V took the time to recreate Larkhill, and wants Evey to live through exactly the same experience he has, there is no reason why he wouldn't recreate everything as it originally was. Plus, as previously said, his underground setting corresponds to the doctor's memories.

Correction: All we ever see of Larkhill cells in the doctor's memories is a hall with doors. Pretty typical of most detention facilities. And just because that hallway ends with Evey's cell, or V's cell at Larkhill, doesn't mean that's the edge of the building. There could be another cell on the opposite side of that wall with a seperate hallway because they're seperate cell blocks for a seperate type of inmate. Also, V does not even remotely attempt to recreate his own experience at Larkhill as Evey was not used as a lab rat, injected with diseases so potential cures could be tested on her. Basically, it's never explicitly stated in the film which cell housed Valerie, and even if it did plainly state she was in Cell IV, it's still not a mistake for V to slip the note in the way he did.
