Could you please add a new view to the Genre (category) page? It could roughly look like the sketch below:

This would be very useful. It could also be a view of the Movies page, not (just) of the Genre category.
The current views that are available on the Genre page are not nicely usable - it's bad, outdated user experience.

With the current view you basically have to decide beforehand which genre you'd like to watch and then see a very large page full of movie-options for that specific genre. In many cases the better user experience would be to also show items per genre and all genres (in a configured or watch-history/watchmarked-based order).

There's countless things one could change here or make configurable, such as how many rows are shown per Genre, which genres and categories are shown and in which order and which items are shown per genre at the top/left (they could simply have the same order as the order configured on the movies page). However, I suggest just implementing a fairly simple view roughly like the one above and adding configurability and additional similar views only afterwards over time.

I think this is very important or probably even critical for making Kodi a competitive, up-to-date, useful media center.

Furthermore, until there's dedicated pages for short films and documentaries (shown in the left panel just like "Movies" and "Series"), making them "Genres" here could be a good workaround until then. This would be useful if the "Movies" page could be made (by default) to not show Documentaries and Short films - for example by filtering the genres or by having separate excluded media sources for them. This way, one could browse everything one could watch in the Kodi media center.

At a later point one could also add online media sources for Short films and Documentaries. One could also easily switch between favored views with shortcuts (like what's currently the "Wall" view of "Movies" and this "Sliders" view of the "Genre" page). The arrow to the right could show the next set of items and also expand a second row when used so that more items can be displayed per slide. One could switch to a category/genre page by quickly tapping the arrow to the right twice. There could be small notification-balloons displayed for a few seconds in a corner that show the shortcut-keys every time that page is opened until the user uses them.
