I can take your point Keith, but I think that a lot of the way that the war was represented (or misrepresented) and ultimately remembered does come down to which films were made. From a British perspective, two very good candidates for films would be about the retaking of Burma (General Slim retrained a defeated army and then drove the Japanese out) and the Battle of Kleve and Wesel (which ultimately achieved the objectives of the original Market Garden campaign). They would probably appeal to a British public, but no British film company has the resources to finance that scale of film making. There would be no reason for an American company to finance such films. It does not diminish the achievements of the men in any way. Sadly though, it does mean that they are recalled less often than other events, which also involved enormous sacrifice.
