The second sentence says "Widely considered one of the...". It should say "Widely considered as one of the..." BillyShearsss (talk) 05:52, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
Not done: The use of "as" would be redundant here - the current phrasing works fine. EphemeralPerpetuals (they/them)talk 01:49, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

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 AFI's 100 Years...100 Thrills, for instance the text "has ranked it". --62.166.252.25 (talk) 11:07, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
- Done I confirmed that 29 is correct with the existing source and also made these other changes, thanks. Jamedeus (talk) 15:52, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
