I don't know if it's Hollywood revisionism. I don't know of any films that portray the war as if the US won the war single handed. Since as you mentioned, most were created for american audiences, that is portion they showed. People wanted to see what their fathers, uncles, and grandfathers went through. For D-Day the forces were largely divided by which part of the Normandy beach they attacked. This means for the most part the Canadians, Americans and British would not come in contact with each other on the battlefield. The majority seem to focus on Omaha Beach was was slated for US troops. Many (especially modern movies, miniseries and documentaries) do in fact include British troops and the parts they played. I know of no veterans who ever downplayed the British military in WWII.
I am very proud of the part the US played in the war, and I do believe we were a very important part of winning (though it is easy to argue a large portion of that was due to our ability to manufacture an insane amount of war machines and materials). I am also proud of the Canadian and British forces. Together, we all made a good showing of ourselves.
