Why is it feminine?
Película is feminine because it derives from the Latin "pellicula," the diminutive form of "pellis" (skin). In Latin, words ending in "-cula" are feminine. When Spanish inherited this word, it retained the feminine gender. The Latin "-cula" ending evolved into Spanish "-cula", and the word's meaning expanded from a thin film or layer to refer to motion pictures.
