I've hated all war movies except for Apocalypse Now

Apocalypse Now really was the last great war movie that kills "war movies" as a genre, if you really understand it. Just like Watchmen, the comic book, killed comic book superheroes.

What was it about that period that led to great absurdist fictions?

How can Apocalypse Now be the "last" great war movie if you hate all war movies except that one?

Because the thought was poorly worded, obviously.
