Excellent short list. Millions Like Us is worth watching, there are others that cover the home front (This Happy Breed).
There are also the comedy ones, not worthy of being in the top five but fun, and a sub-genre in themselves - The Foreman Went to France with Tommy Trinder, Will Hay's The Goose Steps Out.
I like the early films, like Mrs Miniver, that were designed to portray plucky little Britain standing alone, especially to get the Americans on side. Pimpernel Smith is a good example.
