Romeo and Juliet, a timeless classic. I do think that this story has endured for so long because it's about things in humans, like mistakes and love, that shall never pass. Bad decision-making is the fuel that drives the plot-truck carrying a shipment of love to the reader. (It crashes on the way there.) Overall, the themes present in this story are about basic fundamental truths of humans, and that might just be why said humans enjoy this story to the extent that they do.
Although I cannot think of any connections, probably because I rarely read novels that contain star-crossed lovers with problems, but apparently some Twilight book has two warring factions that make happy peace time because some person or people die.
