Is there any way to retrieve a list of movies by genre alone and if not, is creating your own database using parsed api data allowed or is it against the terms of use?
Discover methods return only first 10 000 matches. If you need more movies, you must split your discover query into smaller batches, e.g. by years.
You can get the list of all valid genre ids by using genre API method.
"&with_genres=" parameter supports more genre ids being comma (,) or pipe (|) separated. Comma's are treated like an AND and query while pipe's are an OR.

Making API Requests is usually done by code programmers, developing APPs and data query tools.
An API Request where there is a small typing error, a comma or space more or less, does not usually work.
But it is not an impossible subject to understand.
I, for one, don't program code.
I'm just a curious 71 year old.

If you found any non-answers and want some clarification, feel free to ask. :-)

You can use discover method of our API. E.g. to get a list of English action movies sorted by popularity:

You can't limit search to specific genres, "&with_genres=" works only with TV and movie discover methods.
