It jus seems (and I haven't done any research to back this up) that there are 10 times as many movies about WWII than all our other wars combined.

I think the sheer magnitude of WWII has something to do with it. It was the largest conflict the world has ever seen. There are so many stories; large, small, fiction, non-fiction, European theater, Pacific, and everything in between. It's like a writer's playground.
And as others have mentioned, there was a very clear line between good and evil. And the blurring of that line has potential for great storylines.
