The exact name of the award has shifted occasionally throughout its history. At the 1st AARP Movies for Grownups Awards, it was referred to as Best Foreign Film. In some years, it was referred to as Best Foreign Language Film instead.{{Cite web|url=https://www.aarp.org/entertainment/movies-for-grownups/info-2020/annual-film-awards-winners.html|title=Movies for Grownups: See the Full List of 2019 Winners|first=Tim|last=Appelo|website=AARP}} In 2021, the AARP titled the award "Best Foreign Film/Best International Film," mirroring the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences's shift that year from Best Foreign Language Feature Film to Best International Feature Film.{{Cite web|url=https://www.aarp.org/entertainment/movies-for-grownups/info-2021/awards-winners.html|title=Movies for Grownups Awards 2021 Winners: The Full List|first=Tim|last=Appelo|website=AARP}}{{Cite web|url=https://variety.com/2019/film/news/netflix-can-chill-academy-rules-no-change-in-streaming-oscar-eligibility-1203196351/|title=Netflix Can Chill: Academy Rules No Change in Streaming Oscar Eligibility|first1=Matt|last1=Donnelly|date=April 24, 2019}} They returned to the title Best Foreign Film the next year.{{cite web | url=https://www.vulture.com/2022/12/aarp-movies-for-grownups-2023-nominations.html | title=AARP Movie Award Noms Reveal That Grownups Love Spielberg and Butt Plug Jokes | date=15 December 2022 }}
