Always been fascinated by actor and director chemistry. Not sure what's the best way to judge these. Box office draw? the actual quality of work done together (subjective)

If there's any glaring omissions feel free to add

Scorsese/ Deniro - Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Cape Fear, Casino, Good fellas, the King of Comedy

Ridley Scott/ Russell Crowe - Body of Lies, American Gangster, A Good Year, Robin Hood , Gladiator

Kurosawa/ Mifune - many wonderful films

Burton/ Depp - Alice in Wonderland, Charlie & Chocolate Factory, Ed Wood, Sleepy Hollow, Sweeney Todd, Edward Scissorhands, Dark Shadows

Carpenter/ Russell - The Thing, Big Trouble In Little China, Escape From New York

Scorsese/ DiCaprio - Wolf of Wall Street, Gangs of NY, Shutter Island, The Departed, The Aviator

John Huston/ Bogart - the Maltese Falcon, the African Queen, Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Key Largo

Soderberg/ Clooney - Solaris, Oceans 11, 12, & 13, Out of Sight

Wes Anderson/ Bill Murray - Rushmore, the Royal Tenenbaums, Fantastic Mr Fox, the Grand Budapest Hotel, Moonrise Kingdom, the Life Aquatic

I'm compelled to throw John Ford/ John Wayne in there because they did 21 films together including The Quiet Man, Stagecoach, The Searchers, etc

Lots of terrible movies listed in OP. ESPECIALLY Ridley/Crowe list. Scorcese/Deniro and Anderson/Murray salvage it

1. Herzog/Kinski

The rest

Hard to top this one - on a quality, picture-for-picture, performance-for-performance basis.

This is probably the biggest challenge to Scorcese/Deniro and the Duke was a movie star, not really an actor (but Ford was the better director - there I said it.)

Where the frick is Mifune/Kurosawa and Fellini/Mastroianni? But from that list, Scorsese/De Niro is easily #1 and it's not even remotely close.

You should have mentioned The King of Comedy in you Scorsese/DeNiro list. One of their best.
