About ''The Shining'', the article states "and the American Film Institute has ranked it as the 27th greatest thriller film of all time". I'm pretty sure it's at #29 and not #27. Also, I suggest adding "in 2001", since the ranking is from that year. And maybe include an internal link to ], for instance the text "has ranked it". --] (]) 11:07, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
