There are some googlable ways to feed a list of filenames to vim, but I stumble on weird results.

The easy way for me is 'avoid the shell - use Perl instead':
perl -e 'my @files = grep(!/^\s*$/,<ARGV>); chomp @files; system("vim",@files);' example_list.txt
Quick change to handle filenames that start with '-' as well:
perl -e 'my @files = grep(!/^\s*$/,<ARGV>); chomp @files; system("vim","--",@files);' example_list.txt
