Oh, I won't bitch -- I've come to realize now these gimmick articles designed to get clicks are often riddled with factual errors, seem to be written either by somebody born twenty years or less ago or have a propensity toward only certain big-name composers and scores, and have not much in the way of research. I'm foregoing all that by simply not reading the damn thing.
Besides, we already have one or more threads here on that topic.

They got #1 right
My top 5
1 Spielberg/Williams
2 Lucas/Williams
3 Burton/Elfman
4 Jackson/Shore
5 Shyamalan/Howard
Bonus picks - they only did 3 films together, so I find it hard to rank against the above
Cameron/Horner
Emmerich/Arnold
Bonus picks - too new/recent to compare to the heavyweights above
Abrams/Giacchino
Bird/Giacchino
Docter/Giacchino
Reeves/Giacchino
Wachowskis/Davis
Wachowskis/Giacchino

This is actually mostly a good list, with a few exceptions (Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross / David Fincher?) Well-rounded in terms of geography. I mainly lament the omission of JNH/Shyamalan (though that's probably because the latter's films have been critically reviled in recent years) and Goldsmith, either with Schaffner or Dante.
I guess as a top 20 Howard Shore and Peter Jackson should've been there too (near the bottom), even though their only collaboration has been the Middle Earth films (actually Shore/Cronenberg would've probably been more appropriate).
As much as I like Prokofiev, I don't think he should have made the list with Eisenstein because they didn't do enough films together -- especially to get so high on the list! I mean, I could say Laughton/Schuman were one of the greatest director/composer teams based on the masterpiece of Night of the Hunter, but would I include them on a top 20 list? No. I would think at the *bare* minimum, at least three completed collaborations would be necessary to qualify for this list (and five would be more appropriate).
