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.[2] In some years, it was referred to as Best Foreign Language Film instead.[3] 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.[4][5] They returned to the title Best Foreign Film the next year.[6]
