There is a very simple solution using LINQ:

List<String> list = {"abc","cba","bca"}; 
NameList.Add(new XElement("movie", new XElement("title", this.textBox1.Text), list.Select(l => new XElement("genre", l))));

using for loop could be a way

        var strList = new List<string> {"abc", "cba", "bca"};
        var xml = new XmlDocument();
        var root = xml.AppendChild(xml.CreateElement("Movie"));
        root.AppendChild(xml.CreateElement("Title")).InnerText = "somthing";

        foreach (var str in strList)
        {
            root.AppendChild(xml.CreateElement("Genre")).InnerText = str;
        }

        MessageBox.Show(xml.OuterXml);
