Anyone know anything about paintings?

I found a few paintings in a cupboard a while ago and was clearing it out today and decided to check if they're worth anything. I think they are reprints though so I'm not sure if they actually will be worth anything. Although one or two look to be original but again, I'm not sure.
Would anyone be able to tell me or suggest what to try?

Still, you can go and get them valued by a professional.
I thought you were looking some serious cash.
Don't take my word for it, they could well be worth only a couple of quid. Need to see a professional.
You should be able to tell whether they are prints or origonals.
Do they look like oil paintings, watercolour or what?
And if they are prints, do they look as though they have been signed by the artist at all (an origonal signature - not a print)? They are usually signed in pencil and marked as, say, 78/500 ... meaning it is one of a signed batch of 500, for example.
Unsigned prints are virtually valueless but origonal artwork, or signed prints, could be of some value.
Maybe we will see you on Antiques Roadshow sometime, fainting at the valuation of £100k????
