       Logan's Run is (rather loosely) a SF (Science Fiction) movie ; 
"Soylent Green" was a short story in the SF genre by Harry Harrison which 
he expanded into a novella (with significant plot changes) under the name 
"Make Room! Make Room!". A screen-writer and producer re-worked the short 
story and novella into the screen-play for "Soylent Green", which starred 
IIRC Charlton Heston and was most definitely a SF movie.
       What the name "Soylent Green" means is approximately 'Soya and 
Lentil protein cake, with green colouring to make it look prettier and 
differentiate it from Soylent Yellow and another Soylent mix'. What it 
actually was varied between incarnations of the story.
