¿Por qué es masculine?

Filmes is masculine in Portuguese. While it is indeed a loanword from English "film" borrowed in the early 20th century, the gender assignment cannot be reliably explained by the "-e" ending pattern. Portuguese nouns ending in "-e" are typically masculine (like "homem" and "nome"), but many are feminine (like "arte", "base", "fonte"). The masculine gender of "filme" was likely assigned during borrowing based on the semantic category of the word or analogy with similar masculine nouns, but the exact mechanism of gender assignment for this loanword is not definitively documented in standard linguistic sources.
