Claim
93% based on 184 reviews
Correction

This Rotten Tomatoes figure is outdated. Rotten Tomatoes currently lists Memento at 94% based on 186 reviews, not 93% based on 184 reviews.

Full reasoning

The article gives a specific Rotten Tomatoes score and review count, so it can be checked directly against Rotten Tomatoes' current listing for the film. The official Rotten Tomatoes page for Memento now shows "94% Tomatometer 186 Reviews". That contradicts the article's statement that the film has 93% based on 184 reviews. Because the claim gives exact current aggregator statistics, and Rotten Tomatoes is the primary source for those statistics, the article's numbers are incorrect.

Claim
4th
Correction

The National Board of Review's 2001 'Top Films' selection was an unranked list, so listing Memento as '4th' is incorrect.

Full reasoning

The official National Board of Review page for 2001 does not rank Memento fourth. Instead, it presents "Top Films" as an unnumbered list of ten titles: A.I. Artificial Intelligence, Black Hawk Down, In the Bedroom, The Man Who Wasn't There, Memento, Monster's Ball, Moulin Rouge, Mulholland Drive, Ocean's Eleven, and The Pledge. Since the NBR source does not assign positions to those films, giving Memento the specific rank "4th" is inaccurate.

    The official 2001 NBR page lists "Top Films" followed by an unnumbered set of titles: "A.I. Artificial Inteligence ... Memento ... The Pledge." It does not assign ranks to those films.

Claim
6th
Correction

AFI's 2001 Movies of the Year were an unranked set of honorees, so listing Memento as '6th' is incorrect.

Full reasoning

The American Film Institute's official 2001 awards page does not rank Memento sixth. AFI describes the program as honoring 10 outstanding films and presents the AFI MOVIES OF THE YEAR as a group of honorees rather than a countdown or ordered ranking. Because the official AFI source does not assign numerical placement within that set, the article's specific claim that Memento was "6th" is inaccurate.

    AFI says its awards program "has honored 10 outstanding films" and presents the 2001 "AFI MOVIES OF THE YEAR" honorees, including Memento, as an unranked set rather than numbered placements.

Claim
Story of the Year
Correction

This AFI category name is wrong. AFI's official 2001 award for Memento was 'Screenwriter of the Year,' not 'Story of the Year.'

Full reasoning

The article's awards table labels Christopher Nolan's AFI honor as "Story of the Year." On AFI's official 2001 awards page, the category is listed as "AFI Screenwriter of the Year", and the recipient is Christopher Nolan – MEMENTO. So the category name in the article is incorrect.
