Basically because they are very good. Shakespeare chose stories that deal with essential human problems, dramatised them using complex and ambiguous characters, and gave those characters lines to say which are memorable and express ideas and feelings perfectly. On top of that, he knew how to throw in a dirty joke, an action sequence, a drunkard or a brothel keeper to keep things lively.
