We consider two ultra thin layers of different liquids on a solid substrate. Using long wave theory coupled evolution equations for the free liquid-liquid and liquid-gas interfaces are derived taken into account non-retarded Van der Waals forces. Analisis of their linear and non-linear behavior shows that, both, varicose and zigzag modes can be unstable and lead to film rupture at the inner interface or substrate. The results are exemplified using a Si/PS/PMMA/air system.
