From the TIME Archive
The one movie I feel should have definitely made the list (of top 3 movies, let alone 100), is Seven Samurai. Maybe this was an oversight because you didn't want more than two Kurosawa films on the list? If this was the case, I feel Seven Samurai is a better movie than Yojimbo.
