Well, I view and "eye candy" film one that is astounding visually but lacks in just about every other department. Perfect examples of this in my book are:

The Matrix (sorry, I just don't get it)

What Dreams May Come (when are they gonna have a porno taken from THIS title do you suppose?)

Tomb Raider

Armageddon (a guilty pleasure though...fun movie!)

and

Willow (weak movie great visuals)

Yeah, no it wasn't bud. Countless movies like Song of the South and Mary Poppins predated Roger by quite a few years.

Anyway.

Song of the South
Ed Wood (shiny b&W)
Godfather
Elephant Man (excellent and appealing b&w cinematography)

More as a matter of production design and visual presentation: The Cell.

Cinematography is a different and much bigger bag.

The Duellists, Doctor Zhivago, Walkabout, Legends of the Fall, Lawrence of Arabia, Days of Heaven, Badlands, among many others.

Cruel Intentions(I detest this movie, but the fact that Sarah Michelle Gellar, Reese Witherspoon, Selma Blair, & Tara Reid are all in it qualifies it as eye candy).
