My vote would be for Kurosawa and Mifune, NO CONTEST, based on:
- Rashomon
- Seven Samurai
- Throne of Blood
- High and Low
- Yojimbo
- Red Beard
Not too mention almost a dozen other *great* films the pair did together. Including Sanjuro. ESPECIALLY Sanjuro.

I thought of two more while out tonight, and I was kicking myself for not including them:
Bob Rafelson/Jack Nicholson(one of the more unheardalded pairings)
Head
Five Easy Pieces
King of Marvin Gardens
The Postman Always Riogs Twice
Man Trouble
Blood and Wine
And another short lived pairing, but absolutely one of my favorites, George Roy Hill/Paul Newman
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
The Sting
Slap Shot
(talk about not having a clinker in the bunch, that's 3 absolute classics right here!)
And though I haven't seen any Bergman films, the Bergman/Max Von Sydow pairing is also quite reknown.

You've got to be kidding me. You do know that the motion picture wasn't invented in the 1970's, don't you?
I think I'll go with John Ford/John Wayne, but there are literally dozens of better answers than any of the ones you proposed.

I'd probably go with Scorsese/DeNiro.
Another great team that probably did more to shape movies than anyone else would have to be D.W. Griffith and Lillian Gish.

Another vote for David Lynch / Kyle Maclachlan.
Christopher Guest and his entire cast(s)?
Quentin Tarantino and Samuel Jackson might be elligible if they make a few more films together.
Todd Haynes and Julianne Moore seem to have a good thing going.
P.T. Anderson / Philip Baker Hall

Stewart/Hitchcock
Wilder/Lemmon
Like I said, while they have been a successful team, I think DeNiro/Scorsece are overrated.
Favorites of mine:
Dreyfuss/Spielberg
Stoltz/Crowe
